Default Two additional major factors:

1) Vehicle weight vs. tire width and trend pattern.
2) How the AWD/4WD system operates.


.....and of coarse, the driver.

Default The Nissan put it brakes on.............

Was I imagining things or was the Nissan doing fine before the brakes were firmly applied? It looked a bit sus to me. The ar also got the most flattering camera angles. Not wishing to doubt the ar's abilities but it looked like a bit of a promo stunt. What is the source of this vid?

Default Try VideoLan or MPlayerOSX for Mac OS X

I haven't tried the video in question (PowerBook is at home, I'm at work), but I usually have no problems with DiVX videos using these apps.

No VirtualPC required.

Default But why did the Nissan use the brakes? And a BMW sedan? hmmm......?????

It's almost as embarrassing as the Chrysler made JEEEEEP commercial. Not to underestimate or understate the allroad's capabilities, but the only car that would fall into the same category is the Volvo X-Country. I'm just a bit disappointed about the choice of cars the German TV put on display to compare our beloved allroad with.

And one comment made by the Reporter "To everyone's surprise the Audi allroad made it all the Way to the top of this tricky hill, totally unexpected." Well, haven't they done their homework before coming out with a TV-spot like this? I highly doubt it. Just my $0.02.

But in the End - the allroad ROCKS!
Happy winter times everyone!
