The bean counters over at Stuttgart are are the problem that is now manifesting in the entire VAG group.

How, well, they have tried to segment the market in their offerings, and in doing so, purposely with hold tech to lower brands in an effort to push customers to more expensive brands.

Audi cannot make the best car possible because it will be competing directly with some porsche offerings. The Audi RSQ8 comes to mind (Although I think this was a fluke car, they never intended to make an Audi that good) as it competes with the porsche turbo GT. They had to nuff the engine output, and the drivetrain to make sure the porsche sells. It is so bad for Audi right now that all of their RS models are now almost a generation behind BMW in performance. The RS4 no longer even tries to compete with the M3.

The problem becomes worse downstream. VW cannot get performance engines as they are seen to compete with equivalent Audi's. The Arteon, for example was supposed to come with the 2.5vr6 turbo on the higher trims, but nuffed so that it would not compete with the RS5. The highest trim Golf R is also a step down from the second highest hatch from Audi, the S3. Even the touareg is not spared.

I wish VAG allows the marquees to compete on development of new driving technology

I modified the headline to be a little more informative and less about avocados.

This is something I've always admired the Brits for. They can produce continuations/evocations built on new body shells for less than six figures (~90k GBP including VAT; they start at about $122k US).

Here in the States, you'd be hard-pressed to increase the price 50% and turn a profit. You'd also be hard-pressed to import or buy a good Escort and properly restomod it for $200k.

Me? I'll have a sorted Alfa Giulia Super, or a Lotus Cortina, or a Fiat Abarth 1000 OTS replica, or a 1000TCR replica, or a 124 Abarth Stradale replica, or... well, a lot of options. But- I'm glad this exists for more moneyed people who want a new vintage car built to their specs.

I just don't get how that happened, I get the post war prosperity, but we're people really well off enough to buy 600k units of a niche 2 door muscle car in 1966?

That would put it at number 2 if it happened today ahead of all SUV's, Toyotas, Honda, etc in the US, only slightly behind the Ford F Series.

There was a post about babying for lack of a better word “dream cars”. Basically cars that people get and seldom drive because they speak to some emotional thing. I made a joke comment about baying a shitty car (a Yugo) and it got me thinking if you could own a bad car for the memes or infamy what bad car would you own? Bad in this context can mean something unreliable like a used Land Rover or it could be something with no redeeming qualities other than a fun origin story like a Yugo (the marriage of the worst aspects of capitalism and communism) or something that is just boring like a Honda civic (no si, no type R, and no manual, just a plain Jane automatic civic)

For me I am a sucker for a good story so I want a Yugo even though the car is objectively and unquestionably bad.

We all talk about cars from the perspective of the driver’s seat. But sometimes the ride as a passenger can stand out, whether it’s a professional driver taking you around a track or being chauffeured around in a Rolls Royce. Or perhaps something much more mundane like being in the captain’s chairs of a Honda Odyssey.

What has been your favorite ride as a passenger?
