    Don't Audi win Lemons every year with a diesel? I'm sure I heard somewhere that they're concentrating on performance diesels at the moment purely on the back of that race.
    yes Audi win Le Mans with the R10 which is diesel. The R8 is named after their Le Mans winning car a few years ago (petrol) so yes expect a performance diesel road car coming from Audi (called the R10?)

    Win lemons i've got a mental picture of them on the gantry above the track with loads of lemons

      You're not comparing like for like though sas. The 330 interior you posted is the E46 previous generation. That is still a quality interior though with nice soft plastics as opposed to the brittle ugly carp in the japmobiles.

      This is the current E90-92 interior of the 3 series. Soft plastics and brushed aluminium. Lovely.

      That mazda looks total rank inside. If you think thats high quality, you're clearly the target audience for that piece of carp. Only a permie or boy racer with limited budget would consider that.

      Whats that you say... Oh it's fast, it's a 4 cylinder 2.3 turbo. Wheres the comfort? Wheres the auto tranny? Wheres the heated leather seats and integral sat nav? Front wheel drive too... total garbage. Will depreciate like a lead balloon. 5K part ex value in 3 years. That is the kind of car advertised by dealers in local rags with £500 cash back and free bluetooth headset (this weekend only of course).

      Different cars for different people I guess. One of my friends (Name and shame "Chris"), thinks a Focus ST is an expensive car. My interpretation is an expensive piece of cheap carp.

      It's quite funny, the people that big-up the cheaper cars are the ones that have never owned a 30-40k+ motor.

      Lexus is the only Jap car worth a second look.

They are kind of a tardis in reverse. Big on the outside, tiny inside. Well made, but very impractical and full of gadgets.
              Oh I don't know. I'm 6' 2" and a number of stone above average and I don't find it too bad. Missus has an IS200 and i'm comfortable in it.

              Not as big as some I admit but some cars aren't even driveable when i get in. RAV4 for example.

                RAV4? Why would you even want to attempt to get in one of those anyway! They are absolute filth! I'm sorry I just had to let my anger out at the mention of a RAV4 I really can not stand the at all!

                  Here's the interior of the new Vauxhall Corsa. I suppose that is good too?

                  They say money doesn't buy you class. They are right.

                  The Germans know how to make fantastic luxury, stylish interiors using superb materials that speak volumes for their owners tastes.

                    Go Prawn, go Prawn!

                    Probably extremely unappropriate to "egg on" a member but I feel that he is on a roll so am offering my support!
