...oh but wait, manual transmissions are no longer mandatory inclusions in modern sporting automobiles. [:sigh:]

yeah...you know how much trouble audi had with the R10 because of the amount of torque....i wish there was some way to make diesels rev like normal petrol cars BTW.

That could be a good idea. It would distinguish the S and RS in a clearer way. People aren't too awared of the difference between S- and RS-models. S-models with sporty high-powered diesel engines and RS-models with the top petrol engines, that could work!

Yea, I think it's a great combination! Imagine how much torque the car will have! I would really like to see it!

And Andaluz, you look at things pretty old-fashioned, you will have to accept the fact Diesels and other technologies are future! Did you ever imagine Jaguar Estate, Hybrid S-Class, electric cars....etc.etc??! It's all part of the future that we have to accept! But nonetheless, I also still love cars that run on petrol!

And the thing that irks me, is that the US most likely won't get any of Audi's diesels. <bleep> the EPA fascists, they can go to hell!
