    DSG - you'll love it! Very cool car. I was just looking at them this week in my search for a new company car. Decided to go with something a little more practical - A4 Quattro (but no DSG available ).

    A4?????? Shouldn't it be at least an S4?

    Unfortunately, when driving 70K miles per year, fuel economy is a big consideration. The S4 and the R32 are going to be about 20MPG on the highway. The A4 2.0 Turbo is going to be about 32MPG - a gas-guzzler in its own right compared to my current TDI Jetta!!

    For a fun car, who cares about MPG? I've driven the S4 and it's got good power, but I didn't care for the car for some reason. Wound up buying the e46 M3 which to me, completely blew the S4 out of the water in the fun factor category and was marginally faster.

    The R32 is the same deal - big time fun!!

    The R32 is one of those cars I just can't help but lust after...

    I think they run a couple of R32's in Bourne Ultimatum. First time I have seen them in a movie.
