The Kiinote: Subaru Outback 2.5i -- Legit or Lame?

15 Oct 2009 13:10:00 PDT

Initially, no one cried foul, perhaps because Volvo sent us only its turbocharged XC60, Chevy shipped just its 2.4 FWD Equinox, and Toyota delivered only its V-6 Trail Edition 4Runner. Thus, Subaru had some company. But maybe it was more because no one really expected the Outback to win, esp...

Review: 2010 Audi S4 brings back the boost, gives "S" a reason for being

28 Sep 2009 09:56:00 PDT

Written by Damon Lavrinc
We'll just come right out and say it: Audi lost the plot with the last generation S4. Unlike the twin-turbocharged V6-equipped B5, its B6 and B7 brethren did little to stoke the flames in our collective hearts. The "S" simply stood for, "I paid more for a bigger engine and some additional trim....

With 420 horsepower, the "base" Audi R8 is a borderline supercar. But that wasn't good enough for some customers, so Audi began offering the R8 with the Lamborghini Gallardo-sourced 5.2-liter V10 powerplant with 520 ponies. Source: YouTube]Continue reading VIDEO: The Smoking Tire test...

2009 Audi TTS Roadster: First Drive [Jalopnik Reviews]

Written by Wes Siler
When you think of the Audi TT, particularly the Roadster, your head probably fills with poor-driving, poseur car stereotypes. The 2009 Audi TTS is supposed to turn that image on its head with a 265 HP 2.0-liter turbo. That gearbox and engine combination is actually very reminiscent of the 20...

Audi Finds "Flat" Profitable

10 Mar 2009 20:03:46 PDT

This explains Audi's mild relative optimism for '09. BMW (all models) outsold Volkswagen in the U.S. last year, too, by about 26,000 units. While Audi, especially through its advertising, has been pushing its lineup as the premium equivalent of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi's lineup comes o...
