Default honestly, your thoughts

all right boys, we all love our audis and i would say about 90% of the forum users have quattro. i want to know who you think produces the best awd system in their cars. audi and subaru are best known for using it on all their cars. but now you see bmw, lexus, mazda, infiniti and others producing all wheel drive cars. who has the best system and do you think these cars will cut into audi's market share?

Audi, did you even have to ask. I feel that if the system need s comp. to figure out that AWD is needed, then Its already behind.

right, i know we all think the quattro is the best, but have you driven a 325xi, lexus is250, infiniti g35x or mazdaspeed6? just wanted to see what you thought of those cars as well as if you think they can cut into audi's sales.

QUATTRO. Audi started the AWD trend. Subaru claiming that it invented AWD 30 years ago is the reason i hate them, although they do have a very good AWD system which is #2 in my book. The evo is too much techy and really dont trust it. all other AWD system are either understeering 60/40 split with little balance(i.e. Volvo) or are oversteering performance 40/60 (i.e. BMW). even though the new RS4 is a 40/60 split its just to compensate for the V8 up front, otherwise its always been 50/50 in a balanced car with superb handling in wet, dry and snow.Sorry for sayiong so much but these are the factors that led me to be an audi driver.
