"Bernd Pischetsrieder, the cigar-smoking head of Germany's Volkswagen, steered perilously close to a Ratner moment yesterday when he dismissed cars made by Audi, his company's most profitable division, as a 'complete waste of money'."

He's kinda right when it comes to BMW, they do know how to rip you off big time by making everything optional. Yes you can get the same performance for much cheaper if you go to a different car brand but no way will the quality be the same.

They are near last on consumer reports reliability ratings. Have you seen the 10 most unreliable cars list? Notice the BMW's on it. No Audis on the list. As the owner of 3 BMW's and 3 Audi's I can tell you BMW quality is not good.

My 1998 A4 1.8T spent way more time in the shop than my 2001 330i

Didn't know the 5 series was on that list. I knew that I did the right thing by passing it up for the A6...

He also said that the VW Golf GTI was a stupid thing to do.
