Default i've posted about this before

but did anyone listen? instead i got lambasted about being anti-porsche.

the next 911 is bound to be mid engined. and the next R8- if there is one- will likely be made softer and more GT. this is the only round audi may have in this car league in my lifetime-unless it becomes somehow independent again. something the porsche clan will never allow as long as they can help it.

i'll be tuning in to see what happens with lamborghini.

Yes, but I think it bears revisiting now and then;-)
