  • and you belive whatcar survet :D its like to belive what Clarkson says in topgear :D kids, they all the same :)

  • Why on earth would you buy a confused Audi? If its comfort youre looking for, get a merc, if its speed get a BMW or even something else. Audis are for people who dont know cars

  • @888TopGear888 You are 100% wrong. My dad owns an audi rs4 and it smokes c63's and m3's all day long.

  • AUDI wankers. Typical corporate wankers. Build your car the best you can then sell it for a fair price. One model, one price. Fuck you AUDI!

  • You'd have to be clinically insane to spend £67 grand on a boring A6! Instead you could buy an RS5, A8, M3, 550, 740, C63 amg, the list goes on

  • @pdooling1 how is a a8 not boring?=

  • @pdooling1 Half the cars you mentioned aren't in the same class or even the same price range as the A6. Also, this may surprise you, but not everyone drives to go fast.

  • @garoiscool

    I didn't say Opel is bad, I just guessed. I actually have Vectra ;)

  • A6 quattros eat brake pads & rotors, steering is more numb than BMW & too heavy for my taste, not Jag heavy but close.

    I got two friends to buy silver black quatro sedans. Maintenace is more than they expected, they have since bought BMW M3 & X5 on my recommendation.

  • @euro944t well boy I had same story just other way round. I got two friends who bought bmw and spend a fourtune to repair them all the time, now they driving Audi quattro and are happy and save money on every mile...

    plus Audi is most relaible car of the year of 2010 amd 2011 where bmw and merc was only 10 and 11 place.

    and what's the problem with expensive extras??? they are best in premium segment now so you got to pay for that and merc and bmw those extras cost simular anyway...

  • @hunker8 actually audi is not that reliable as you mansioned i looked it up and the first nine places where all japanese cars... AND if you look at the link ive send you audi is on 24th place while bmw is on 21st... so please check your facts and dont talk shit over here just because your mates had problems...

  • @baujahr90er so and you are god and actualy you own all cars and now how is with reliablility???? awsome dud, or you was reading to much info and now you think that you actualy are the smartest of all becouse of that, so cool boy, now i realy will sell my Audi stright a way and buy same cheap japs plastic

  • @hunker8 whats wrong with you idiot? i prove you wrong, but you didnt prove me wrong fuckhead... audis, benzes and bmw's are not the most relaible cars out there. and i never said that you should sell your audi, that would be dumb. also i never said at any moment that audi bmw and benz are not good cars. they are actually the best cars in the world and you should stop telling shit and keep on playing your video games...

    show me a reliabilty survey where audi won and i will apologize!

  • @baujahr90er  apologize???? :D for what, you started shit on me so go and scrwe your survey in your butt.....

    first of all to belive surveys is stupid, becouse most of japs cars ar driven by old people who always looks after they cars, but audi, bmw or merc ar driven by bonkers who only now how brake things, so surveys ar shit, if the stituation been other way round than surveys also.....

    and secomd of all you are only idiot here so you apologize...

  • @hunker8 HAHAHAHAHAHHA learn to read stupid and probably huge idiot.

    i said: "if you prove me wrong I (-> baujahr90er -> so basically me) will apologize...

    you stupid kid should stop trolling and telling shit...

  • @baujahr90er you are only one who trolling here and swearing, i see you coment a lot here in youtube, you need take a brake boy... :) h t t p s : / /w w w.alg.com/pdf/pqs_2011_fall_ca­.pdf

  • @baujahr90er About ALG (w w w.alg.com)

    Based in Santa Barbara, California, ALG, Inc. is a leading provider of data and consulting services to the automotive industry. ALG publishes the "Automotive Lease Guide" – the standard for Residual Value projections in North America, and has been forecasting automotive residual values for over 45 years in both the U.S. and Canadian markets. ALG is a subsidiary of TrueCar, Inc.

  • @hunker8 ok i searched on that site BUT i cant find anything about RELIABILITY... the site is about resell value and, okay, audi won but i never said that audi didnt won this.

    yeah you are right i love to comment but i am not trolling at any time (example smart cars)

    it just isnt true that audi is the most reliable car brand on the planer in 10/11... i like audi bmw benz but they just arent reliable as japanese cars, i hate this fact but it is true.

  • @baujahr90er as i said your survey does not mean anything to me, maybe it will if they also add some age procentage per brand or something, but ok as you say, it's does not change anything to me....

  • @baujahr90er but there is something i like to add, the most best reliability test might be when every brand put they car on the line, lets say mid size sedan( A4, 3series, c class, avensis, insignia, mondeo, 408, accord, mazda 6 etc.) and drive a littel realibility race 500'000km true dirt, snow, desret, heat, rain, mad, -30 C, etc. but this race not will be about who first finish the race, but about who spend less money on repairing the car and who spend lest time in garage.....

  • @hunker8 but this would make even less sense. maybe one of the testers is a good one and the other a bad one. for example, what if the particular 3 series that is used to do the test always brakes down because it just is a bad one? it is possible.. but okay i now see your point.

  • @baujahr90er ......... and to be acurate every model have 3 cars in test, so it might take lot of time but thats only way to test realibility, where surveys they can put in they own butts, they make no sence to me. they are waste of time...

  • @hunker8

    Yes, Audi is wonderful sportscar for those that can't drive RWD or have to drive a nice car to work in snow.

  • @euro944t no actualy is all way round dude, you need skills to drive quattro good, where rwd car any idiot now how to drift that shit or smoke tyres in parking at some supermarket, witch is stupid i think....

    by the way this new A6 will make huge cut in 5series and Eclass sales :)

  • @hunker8

    "Skills to drive AWD is needed, not rwd" - LoL

    Nobody buys their wife a rwd so they can spin 360 loops like an idiot in the rain and snow, AWD is a saftey feature on Audi, few housewives will climb Pike's Pike.

    Which Audi do you drive in Canada ?

  • @hunker8

    Anything with numb steering, brakes, tranny as Audi does need extra skills to drive fast.

    Audi's drive you, You drive BMW's......understand ?

  • @hunker8

    Which imaginary BMW did your imaginary friend buy ?

    "Audi #3, I've said enough" - BMW CEO

  • Every time I watched British people, I laughed. They drive on the wrong side of the road, and they have to use the left hand to write on the touchpad LOL. We know Germany dominates euro once again during the euro crisis. Is UK now a third world country?

  • @garoiscool

    Opel?

  • @FlyingNitro1990 I wouldn't mind driving an Opel, actually. They might some great looking cars. 

  • @FlyingNitro1990 *make woops, typo.

  • @05faber

    even the standard is not faster than E-class and that's a fact.

  • Audi has the best technology out of Mercedes, Lexus and BMW.

  • @HitmanLAPD errrr no

  • @MrPedroso88

    I have C-Class ;)

  • You think A6 is faster than E class? And what aboutAMG, and and what about BRABUS? have you thought about that? Mercedes BRABUS cars have no competition. Audi brand also isn't strong as Mercedes brand ;)

  • @FlyingNitro1990 This is the equivalent of the standard E-class. If you talk about competition for AMG you would pin it up against the RS6 or ABT tuned.

  • OMG you idiots are so stupid, you think mercedes would give lead to audi just like that? I can't believe you

  • 6k for sound system in car..? mmkay..

  • @flare66966 you're saying that A6 looks better than 5 series? :/

  • Did he borrow that shirt from James May?

  • what did he say near the end... A digital what? raindeer?

  • @hopplacowboy radio

  • He would want to go to the flower shop...

  • Do you know a program to flip your screen vertical that I can see the british car reviews with steering wheel on the left side?

  • so much opulence, so much quality, so much luxury, so much bullshit !

    for fuck's sake, if you don't spec it you have a modest slow fwd sallon car

    for me, a premium car has RWD, not the cheap and unpremium FWD. and don't use the quattro as an argument, because all of it's rivals have 4wd systems

  • Cool shirt....LOL

  • use left hand to input letters only suit small market, thats proves left side wheel is better haha

  • I feel bad for your car prices over there in europe. I could buy an a6 with all these options here for atleast 10 to 15 grand less

  • @60gigps3 and in Belgium we have to pay a "road tax" wich is proportionate to the engine size :S  And now we even have a CO2 tax...... :(

  • man these Audi geeks is delusional thinking Audi is an equal to M-B and BMW

  • @KenGold666 I know they so stupid

  • @UzzyFuzzyy REPLY TO MY COMMENT TOO BITCH

  • Audi = 3rd place forever no matter what they do

  • @FlyingNitro1990 i love both your top comments on this video :D Audi = Always Unimpressed Driving It.

  • @FlyingNitro1990 while there cars may not be better, they look better, and that can be all of the difference.

  • @FlyingNitro1990 Clearly yo'ur stupid.

  • @zigga88 Totally agree. This is simply funny, how people, who are interested in cars, and I stress the "interested", but never drove an new audi or bmw or mercedes all together, state a comment like this. Nevertheless, it is all a matter of taste and you can not argue about it.

  • @FlyingNitro1990 Are you kidding? I would rather have an Audi than a Mercedes, at least here in Norway were 4WD is a must!

  • @Draggis92

    How about if you lived in dry hot state ?

    You would still opt for Audi ?

    You realize BMW have turbos & AWD x-drives ?

  • @euro944t Yeah i know that ;) But I also know that x-drive is much more expensive than Quattro! If I lived in a hot state, 4WD would not be so important for me I guess, but here in Norway it is just great<3

  • @Draggis92 /watch?v=O0rMdjqNxMI&feature=c­hannel this is when you compare Audi vs bmw, quattro vs xdrive and please concentrate on 7:32 please dude its simple, the Vorsprung durch Technik. is the best, its better in all ways, and yee Audi have electric power steearing and ofcourse its not going to fell like bmw, thats way its called Audi and I like that, if you like ugly car with boring interior and with name DRIVERS CAR just becouse someone said that, than drive it.....

  • @Draggis92 o yee my friend nr.1 had 320d with planty electric problems and the friend nr.2 had M5 and he was left in middel of the road without engine head.....

  • @FlyingNitro1990 you probably have a Fusca.....

  • @FlyingNitro1990 Audi A6 is faster than serie 5 and E350.

  • @MrPedroso88 audi a6 isnt faster than a BMW 550i.

  • @UzzyFuzzyy Bmw 550i isnt faster than Audi S6 and the M5 are waiting for the new RS6.

  • @MrPedroso88 stfu stupid kid you no nothing about cars. BMW shits on audi end of story spanish prick

  • @UzzyFuzzyy

    How does BMW shit on Audi ?

  • @nielsboex audi is always in last place. meaning bmw and mercedes both shit on audi.

  • @UzzyFuzzyy little people have little perspectives.

    mercedes is for old people, bmw is for loser.

  • @UzzyFuzzyy You obviously don´t know shit or you´re just too narrow minded.

  • @Eametsa kk bmw kills audi

  • @UzzyFuzzyy You´re obviously bmw fanboy and i even bet you dont own a car yourself, audi is more comfortable to drive but bmw has always been sportier of the three, e39 5 series sits so good on the road high speeds that it demolishes everything else in its class.

    I prefer bmw as well but you cant just say audi is shit, even if you havent driven one. Which im pretty sure you havent. I like older generation cars more anyway, for example like audi quattro or bmw e30

  • @Eametsa Yeah you really shouldn't bother with fanboys they're just 14 year olds thinking they no everything on the other hand an Enthusiast is a Different thing all together.

    I prefer an Audi just because of how comfortable they are and the ergonomics of one. But I've been let down by BMW in the last years because i think they dropped down on build quality. And just like i much prefer all German cars of much older generations i.e cars like BMW 2002, Audi 90 Coupe and Merc's from the 70's 

  • @MrPedroso88

    chip tune ECU on 535i = 360tq

    runs with 2004 M5 v8 door to door up to about 110mph, probably gets better mpg petrol

  • @FlyingNitro1990 true. by the sales stats. Audi is the last comparing to mercedes and BMW

  • @Idontgiveashytt not really... In 2011: BMW with 1,4 million, Audi with 1,3 million, Merc with 1,2 million... So Audi is 2nd currently.

  • It's not Audi's fault Apple is so tight with their stupid technology restrictions...

  • iphone and audi.....tipical cock!!!!!!

  • £67k for that? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! If I ever see anyone driving one with options now I'm going to openly take the piss out of them in public. You would have to be a monumental moron to pay that much for that car. Even the start price is highish for what you get. Sorry but for £67k I'd be paying the difference getting an M5.

  • audis are too expensive, you can buy the same options at bmw and merc for less money ! and its better too..

  • audis are for true, true cocks with no taste whatsoever

  • Why is this presenter not in the main show? I believe he will be a worthy addition to the present team.

  • 6k on an aftermarket sound system would be better. Nice car though

  • 6.300 punds for the stereo?? wtf!! in my country with that money i can buy a proper good car

  • @maestrularmelor but it probably wouldnt be a very good car.

  • @Spartan168 srry for bad english well u can buy second hand with 6.300 pounds a golf gti or a 3 series bmw or a ford focus or a vw passat,or an opel gtc :)and u can find them in pretty good shape or some of them in very good shape ..it depends from who u buy it :d

  • your beloved bmw's and merc's havent yet caught up with audi's aluminium frame technology haven't they? that's why the a6 is kicking 5series and e-class butt around all day in economy and yes- even handling (heavier cars are known for a more luxurious ride - laws of physics -there's nothing wrong with the audi's chassis)

  • stereo is a mad price

  • excellent review

  • I should be happy with a standard car as well

  • Comment removed

  • @TheEryk03 better than S Class and 7 series, hahahah OMG what have I just read

  • Audi's are soooooo boring the new lexus? drowning in warm wall paper paste? yes!

  • Excuse me.. But 67 bucks aren't too much?! Come on just a lil' bit.. this is so crazy for a car like that.. it's hardly worth the price you'll pay.. Only my opinion.

  • 67K wow not worth it. How much is that in $? 75k?

  • @SickK8GSXR600 Probably 100k ;)

  • @SickK8GSXR600 That's a 105,000 in US dollars. All cars are more expensive in the UK.

  • Good review AND reviewer (a winning combination). Enjoyed the video!

  • Very very good review, entertaining yet also very factual

  • This car is better equipped than 7 series and S class.

    I love Audi.

  • @TheEryk03 You are stupid for saying that, mainly because you can't even start to compare this to the S Class or 7 series.

  • @8150shaf You are stupid. What S or 7 has what audi hasn't?

    That's true, Audi kills Mercedes and BMW.

  • @TheEryk03 No no no. Audi is good, no doubt.

    But compare the A8 to the 7 Series and the S Class. Not the A6.

  • @8150shaf I know that, but A6 is better equipped than 7 and S even though it is not a competitor..

  • @TheEryk03 No it isn't. Let me explain.

    The S Class and 7 Series have much longer bases than the A6 and is designed partially for the owner to be driven in whereas the A6 is designed for the owner to drive it, and carry a family as well.

    If the Audi A6 was eligible to compete against the 7 and S they wouldn't make an A8 in first place. Yet they have, to match the standards of the other two cars. Standards that aren't accomplished with the A6.

  • @8150shaf You don't understund me... I compored equipped... EQUIPPED not SIZE of the cars...

  • @TheEryk03 You're still wrong. Assuming that the technology in the cars is part of the equipment, I will say this. Mercedes is known as the manufacturer (Among few others) that is at the forefront of technology and safety. For example, ESP and ABS were all technologies first implemented on Mercedes vehicles.

  • @8150shaf ... WTF whit you... Tell me what Mercedes S class has which A6 hasn't...

    Now not 20 years ago... You are so stupid...

  • @TheEryk03 I don't think there is any point telling you because, look at it this way. The A6 is a new complete redesign, whereas the current S Class has been here more more than 2 years now (Current baseline).

    Also, you are the one who claimed that the A6 is better 'equipped'. What does the A6 have that the S Class doesn't?

    P.S. What car do you drive?

  • @8150shaf ffffff unless I'm allergic to stupidity...what is the age to equipment...

    Please, STFU because you are so stupid, srry but I feel very bad that are so stupid people do not understand anything.

  • @TheEryk03 'stupid, stupid stupid' quit bitching.

    Just because you cant argue against me, dont make up excuses.

  • @8150shaf ... A6 is better equipped than S class. That's a fact.

    You do not have arguments which deny the.

    end of period.

  • @TheEryk03 You see, I would believe you if you had any proof. But you don't.

    And you keep calling me 'stupid' when you can't even speak proper english (No offence if your first language isn't english)

    Just give me some examples of HOW it is better equipped.

    I also deny that it is a fact because you ask almost anyone which of the two cars is better, people will say the S-Class. Also known as the king of the luxury car segment.

    Say no more.

  • @8150shaf Yeah english isn't my first language and I know, my english is bad.

    Proof: S class hasn't: Head Up Display, Full LED lights, Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go, side assist with pre sense front & rear, active lane assist, soundproof windows, navi with google maps in 3D etc...

    People will say the s-class is better because people ave no idea about these cars and are not on time. Times are changing. A8 beats S class in every aspects.

  • @8150shaf No, actually. Audi was the first to put full LED headlights on a car (D4 Audi A8), Mercedes CLS followed afterwards. Technically it was Aston Martin that put LED's in car headlights first on the V8 Vantage, but Audi popularized the trend and all other manufacturers followed.

  • @FIDTRO No Audi R8 was the first actualy

  • @Apollosshikale No, it wasn't. the V8 Vantage began production in 2005. The Audi R8 was originally introduced in 2006.

  • @FIDTRO Cool thanks, didnt know that.

  • @FIDTRO Whatever. What other innovations has Audi made? I applaud their Quattro system but what others?

    Mercedes developed ESP, ABS and many more. ABS is actually even a legal regulation in most countries now! Mercedes is at the forefront of innovation.

    Even radar guided cruise control was developed by Mercedes Benz.

  • Audi pioneered Aluminum Space Frame technology, used extensively by Mercedes today & the rest of the industry. D4 A8 is the first car among all three German manufacturers to support it's own Wi-Fi hotspot, integrate Google 3D maps, support handwriting for MMI Navigation inputs, & Audi is developing autopilot technology for traffic jam scenarios. Considering LED's, Audi innovated modern car design and gave full-LED headlights, more efficient than standard headlights.

    Innovation all around.

  • @FIDTRO The WiFi hotspot feature was available in the S-Class first. Don't bullshit me. The S-Class was also the first to feature TV reception in the car. Handwriting in a car? My friend drives an Audi and NEVER uses that.

    And anyway, what is your argument worth when Mercedes is selling more than Audi?

    Mercedes is known as the inventor is the modern automobile. Mercedes is also known for it's forefront in car technology.

  • No. BMW Europe was first in the world, I did some extra research. Seems you're the one guilty of bullshitting "S-Class first." Audi was first in the US.

    If you think being able to handwrite your navi destinations is useless, don't tell me being able to watch TV in your car is any less pointless, let alone less useful.

    Mercedes sells mostly because of its badge. Audi beats Mercedes more and more in comparison tests of the car, not the brand image. A6 > Ugly turd E-Class, for instance.

  • @FIDTRO who cares audi opps i mean VW is a shit car HAHAHAHA. end of story.

  • LOL If you could even afford to walk into the dealership, you'd know that Audi is more expensive than BMW or Mercedes. Seeing as how my family has both BMW and Audi I would know you fucking idiot.

    They make Hyundai for poor, uneducated people like you. Go pick yourself up a brochure, fucktard.

  • @FIDTRO keep dreamin kid. audi = always unimpressed driving it.

  • @UzzyFuzzyy HAHAHAHA afford one then come talk to me

  • @FIDTRO why would i want to spend 67k on a piece of shit seriously? id rather buy a bmw or a benz tbh if i wanted to look at this audi or any audi id just take a shit in the toilet and look at it. my shit and audi look the same to me

  • @UzzyFuzzyy You just sound mad cuz you can't handle the audi competition these days. Sad troll stop living in the 90s

    Audi beats BMW and Mercedes in comparison tests. Just shows how shit all the other ones are HAHAHAAHAHAHAH eat your mom's cunt

  • @FIDTRO competition? what competition? audi are the only ones trying to beat merc and bmw and theyre failing by far. like they said audi will be nothing all there cars are boring which makes them a piece of shit youre juts angry because you know its the truth and audi know the same you can never beat BMW or Mercedes.

    Audi is always in last place... as usual HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

  • @FIDTRO audi is shit motherfucker ahahahhaha you know it is aswell but just cant admit it ahahahahah

  • @UzzyFuzzyy I doubt you dislike Audi since you're always talking about it

  • @UzzyFuzzyy BMW = BIG MONEY WASTED BMW = BALDING MIDDLE-AGED WANKER AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA bmw and benz are fugly notice how they are copying audi led lighting hahahahaahah pathetic

  • @garoiscool What is funny is how you think Audi invented the LED.

  • @8150shaf When did I explicitly say Audi invented the LED? If by 'invented', you mean they were the car company to effectively create a new trend in car design that every automaker, including the lovely and 'always innovating' Mercedes and BMW have copied on their current designs/concepts, then yes, Audi invented the LED.

  • @garoiscool Ok, so if you're going to pull Mercedes into 'copying' it, you just made a stupid assumption. Mercedes has invented many technologies which Audi has copied, such as ABS and ESP. Those are technologies which really do improve the car. The only thing I congratulate Audi for making is the Quattro system.

    So Mercedes 'copied'? Mercedes invented the automobile. The car. Have Audi copied them? I would think so.

  • It's not 'copying,' in that sense, if those technologies are released patents, which they are, by the way. Plus, these technologies are purely for safety purposes, so any advancement on that front is necessary on all cars (ESP is mandatory by law). LED lights are purely design, and Audi developed full-LED headlights on the R8 V10 and A6, which the 2012 CLS now has. Surprise, surprise. BMW also is using the same 'tweeter' B&O sound system in the new 6-Series that was available in Audis first.

  • @garoiscool So what youre now doing is pointing out the luxuries that Audi have implemented in there cars. Sat Nav, Satellite TV, Voice recognition were first used in Mercs

    ESP is necessary on all cars, but who made them? LED lights arent purely design. They are now making it necessary on all new models sold in Europe as a daylight safety precaution

    You said that Mercedes have used LED's in their cars so they are copying. In the same way, Audi copied Mercedes with more important technologies

  • Daylight safety precaution? Well now you're just stating a safety innovation that Audi pioneered which can now be found on the new Mercedes models.

    Frankly, if an innovating and historically significant automaker like Mercedes can take something pioneered by Audi, an automaker without arguably as much pedigree, and use it in their cars, that speaks pretty well for Audi. Also considering how Audis made their comeback in the 1980s, I think they've done a very good job with their current cars.

  • @garoiscool I agree that they have done a good job with their cars.

    By calling Mercedes an innovating manufacturer, are you saying Audi isn't? They dont innovate as much, and aren't one of the manufacturers known for creating new technologies. Mercedes is far more advanced and creates new technologies which have today, been equipped on almost all cars and even made a necessity. Thats how great the technologies they have made are. Audi isn't like this, in fact, list me the things Audi have made

  • Sure.

    1. Aluminum Space Frame technology--extensive use of aluminum in bodywork.

    2. Quattro AWD--one of the first in the industry, destroyed Mercedes in racing.

    3. LED adaptive headlights (also adaptive according to the navigation, not steering).

    4. Traffic Jam Assist--autonomously controls the car in traffic jam scenarios.

    5. Zinc galvanization of cars to prevent rusting--first automaker to do so.

    6. In-Car Internet Hotspot capability--D8 Audi A8

    7. 3D Navigation maps.

    8. Lamborghinis.

  • @garoiscool Firstly, I would like to say that none, or almost none, of these technologies are necessary in cars. Mercedes has pioneered technologies that are now deemed a must have, because they are so advanced. And Lamborghini's?! Audi simply bought them over. Traffic Jam Assist was already invented by Mercedes, just set to be revealed in the new S-Class later this year.

    Audi is not bad in any way, however Mercedes is far better. Which is the car that has a more recognised status? Mercedes

  • @garoiscool Also, Audi does not in any way set the barrier for interior design. The S-Class's interior is so good it actually reduces the speed of the beating heart, that's how soothing it is. If you were to list the technologies Mercedes have brought to the car industry, including the little ones that you have thought of, it would beat this list hands down.

    Also, out of interest, what car/cars do you drive?

  • So, basically to summarize your arguments, because of all the technologies Mercedes developed previously are what make their cars better than Audis today?

    I didn't ever say Audi pioneered more technologies than Mercedes. But what Audi has developed, given it's short period as a successful company, have certainly spoken to what is truly innovation: taking automotive conventions and improving upon them significantly, like in the technological wonder that is the A8.

  • S-Class does that because of interior insulation, comfort, and ease of driving. Design-wise, Audi makes the best interiors and always has with numerous awards to back it up. Lamborghini engineering is done solely by Audi engineers, only design is done by Lamborghini. Audi developed Traffic Jam Assist too, then. I can send you the article.

    Aluminum technology, and Audi technology, increases structural rigidity while improving efficiency through weight savings. Mercedes does this now (CLS).

  • @garoiscool You still havent told me what car you drive.

    No, my argument says that Mercedes is a more experienced car manufacturer that is more successful than Audi.

    Mercedes has been there, done that. It has had the title of the fastest car in the world (300 SL), it has invented technologies such as fuel injection and other ones that are necessary on today's cars. The S-Class is better than the A8 hands down.

    Let us base it on facts, which company sells better.

  • More successful than Audi, perhaps. More experienced? Be careful which words you use before you know the history. Audi has been around since 1908 and was a huge player in the early luxury market in Germany. Auto Union cars are some of the best from that time period.

    Sales figures? Audi outsold Mercedes in 4th quarter 2011, which is pretty impressive given how much more successful Mercedes is. Audi sales are increasing. Audi was No.1 luxury brand in Europe in 2011 as well, and in China.

  • Given everything we've been discussing, guess what car I drive.

  • @garoiscool Mercedes is more experienced and has spent more time in the industry.125 years. In the early days Audi was known as a poor mans Benz.

    Show me the source you have got this from, I need proof. I do know that Mercedes beat Audi by a MASSIVE amount in US sales though (2011).

    Yeah I know its an Audi, but which one? The A8?

  • Auto Union cars were some of the best produced in that time period. They were luxurious and expensive, and dominated a large portion of the luxury car market in Germany prior to the first world war, after which the companies ran into some financial trouble. Audi was certainly not known as a poor mans Benz. Horch worked as an engineer for Mercedes and built cars to the same quality and sophistication.

    Check autoblog.com. They report on all these sales figures. Nope, can't afford an A8 yet. A4.

  • @garoiscool Woah Autoblog is a great website! I cant find it, but thanks for showing me the website anyway. And with the argument, we could keep going on forever and won't come to a solution. I like Audi but personally I prefer the more elegant oriented design of Mercedes compared to Audis simple design movement.

    Great! A4s are part of the Audi range I love, specially white ones with the LED lights and those beautiful Audi rims. Do you need a family car? Because I have to say the R8 is great.

  • Yeah, I agree with you there. But I like discussing about cars and car companies without childish insults being hurled around. To each his own, for sure. No, I chose it because I just love the look of it, not necessarily for any practical reasons.

    I do like Mercedes too, and BMW, all are great car companies but as expected everyone is going to have a favourite haha. What do you drive? I'm guessing a Mercedes?

  • @garoiscool True, you are practically the only person I have had a proper argument with on Youtube.

    If you chose it due to the look and you love Audi, be sure to save up for an R8.

    This might surprise you, but I actually use an Audi R8, however I have recently sold it because I just purchased an SLS. I also recently bought the new CLS, I thought it was just beautiful, and I had the old one. My wife bought an Evoque and I have to say its great. We share all the cars apart from the R8 / SLS.

  • @8150shaf Sorry, made a mistake there. I meant to say second world war, not first.

  • You need to remember that Audi was never as financially strong as DaimlerBenz was. Audi barely survived the two world wars and August Horch, founder of Audi, never had enough financial resources to build upon any of his innovations because his company was so small. He was an amazing engineer, however; he built his first working car in 1901, not too long after Karl Benz built his. I should also add Audi sets the bar for benchmark interiors, definitely not Mercedes.

  • @8150shaf haha, you're right, audi just invented this trend of the led rope light look on the front of cars. way to go audi... like so many things, it was cool at one point, now it's so common it's not really all the cool any more.

  • @FIDTRO arguing through the internet is just like the special olympics, whether you win or lose, you are still a retard

  • @FIDTRO bmw is most expensive comparing with audi and mercedes. 5 series is more expensive than a6 or e class. 7 series is a lot more expensive than a8 or s class. x5 is a lil bit more expensive than q7 and m class. bmw 1 series is a lot more expensive than audi a3 (merc has nothing in this class, a class? it is terrible). 6 series a lot more expensive than audi a7 and mercedes cls. not sure about 3 series, c class and audi a4 comparison, have no info on new bmw 3.

  • @XFactorBest lol the the 760 isn't more expensive then the S65 which isn't as expensive as a CL65
