    My driving situation has changed and I'm looking to convert to a TDI. Bone stock and ready to be chipped if you so desire, I've already broken it in for you and took the depreciation hit. Like new, just a curb scrape or two on the 18" Detroit’s. Always garaged, one adult owner, just had...

    Cast your votes, what car is this?

    Saw this today on my walk during the lunch hour and snapped two pictures. The guy inside wouldn't tell me anything, but did say he was on his way out to Mt. Evans for even higher altitude testing. I know it's not a VW but thought you guys might enjoy giving a guess. I think it's a Nissan.

    Now have to pull the ECU for APR Stage 1 for 2010's?!?

    I just got off the phone with my local APR guy in Colorado. I had my 2008 A4 "flashed" last year by simply plugging a computer into the ECU. Peak Eurosport told me that just did a 2010 A4 and had to pull the ECU in order to do the upgrade and the old plug and play method no longer works...

    A quote from Car and Driver's most recent test drive of the R: "You might expect that the R and GTI would share an engine, only differing in tune, but you’d be mistaken. The GTI’s Audi-developed EA888 2.0-liter turbo four is not yet sturdy enough to handle the power and torque required for the...
