Default Competition for the S4? Lexus to introduce 300-plus-hp IS430

There is a blurb in the November issue of C&D about this. They mention a rumor that Lexus may even supercharge the 4.3-litre V-8 to yield up to 400 horses.

Default Then an Audi just a VW with leather?

I also own a Passat 4motion wagon and it is just as good a car as the A6 Avant.

Infiniti is a nissan
Acura is a honda
blah blah blah
