    They all use the same parts bin, engines etc.
    Of course they put in some slightly better plastics on the Audis so that mugs like you pay 10K more.
    Which Skoda has the 306bhp 2.0 litre petrol engine with 4WD, DSG and 0-60 in about 4.7 seconds, and is made of Aluminium?

      Who says those earning 6 figures need to waste money on deprecating assets?

        Unless you're buying in the Eastern European market, it's highly unlikely your Skoda was even built in the same factory as an Audi. And even if it was, which do you think is going to depreciate faster?
        Furthermore, which of the two is going to make you look most like a lonely cheapskate saddo?
        I was going to challenge you to find a current V8 Skoda, but some wag already has. A re-worked R8, costing £180k. Seriously. They must be smoking the same tulip you are clearly smoking.

          Ignore him, he's trolling as usual. He professes to know much about everything but knows little about not a lot. Standard troll. Whack him on ignore and your forum life will improve greatly.

                All VAG cars use (maybe not the A8) the same parts bin. It's a fact even if you don't like it. Of course there'll be differences in engines, noise insulation, body (alu or steel) and other tweaking but the underlying bobbins are the same or soon going to be.

                Explained: the VW Group's MQB platform

                It shows.

                I test drove the Audi A4 Avant, Merc C class estate and BMW 3 series Tourer a few months ago and the Audi was the only one that felt built to a budget. As I mentioned earlier, the pedals were non-metal, the indicator stalk felt cheap and nasty and what's with the plastic buttons on the centre console? Ok fair enough it's not an A8, but it was still a definite cut below its direct competitors. I assume because it used parts (indicator stalks, pedals?) from the lesser stablemates in VAG.

                Also it is telling that Audi has historically had the worst reliability ratings of the German big 3.

                      New cars are for the wealthy. ie not me.

                      My BMW 320D passed 190,000 at the weekend. Should hit 200,000 by Crimbo.
