My 2 cents...

My Dad had an '81 Audi 5000 Turbo -- piece of crap. Fun to drive tho'!

Jump ahead 19 yrs... A buddy of mine purchased one of the first TTs in the state, nice car. Interior at the time was kind of "neat", little too trendy (silly) and I thought some pieces looked cheap. The A8 on the other hand! I don't like the exterior styling of the Audi's much -- remind me of kitchen appliance design.
