VW owns Bugatti... hence the Veyron was developed by VW.

I recall seeing that episode of top gear when it first came out, and that piece blowing my mind.

Youre pretty simple minded.
Aside from them owning Bugatti... Why WOULDNT they have a test track?

ALL manufacturers have massive test facilities. Its a very basic part of building a decent car. How else are you going to test your products in a controlled environment and make them better, or make sure they work at all?

This may strike you as odd, but cars arent just designed, manufactured, and then rolled out onto the street.

sry i didnt know they owned bugatti, that explains the test track, which surely isnt needed to test the top speed of a cabriolet.

and i know that all manufacturers have test facilities

you sure about that?

vw/audi has been making cars for years, and still they cant build a fuckin power window that doesnt fail due to some vacuum leak or broken regulator.

vw/audi makes some of the shittiest cars around, if you ask me. audi makes some impressive cars like the S4 and such, but theres absolutely NO way i'de ever spend that type of money.. or any money.. on an audi. vw's are just out of the question.

TT doesnt bother me so much though... but its still a POS. my friend picked one up not long ago, headlamps are completely crazed and yellowed, several electronic features no longer working. chassis feels strong, motor is fine.. but in general.. theres ALWAYS some electric failure with these cars. i always see Jettas with completely yellowed headlamps or sidemarkers. its almost as if the manufacturer was like "uv inhibitors in plastic? we dont need that shit foo..."

I do have to agree with this. As impressive as the Veyron may be, it's to bad VW doesn't engineer all there vehicles that well. My sister has owned 3 VW's in her life, not a single one older then 5 years, and they have ALL had problems like the ones described above.

its a german car.

your supposed to buy it for 50,000-250,000k

strip everything out of it

cage it, build a high comp version of the motor,

one seat moton suspension and gtg.

or just trade them in every 3 years.

haha

You actually expect VM/Audi to put the same level of engineering and design into a $25,000 car?

That's not even practical.

VW/Audi's do suck. As much as I like Audi's, I'd never purchase one over other cars int heir class. Infact, I wouldn't purchase any Euro luxo cars over their Japanese or even some American luxo counterparts. Oh and News flash, the domestics surpassed Europe in quality and dependability last year.

No I don't, I know that's not practical. But if they at least gave there other vehicles the same care and standards, to a practical degree considering there use, it would make them a lot better IMHO.

Domestics may be better for economical and daily driven vehicles, but if you want a pure sports car, domestics don't even come close to european cars IMHO... cars like the Veyron, Gallardo, Vanquish etc. are proof of that.

I would have to say that the domestics are head and shoulders above the europeans because of the performance for the money aspect. Corvette z06, under $70K and pretty much competes at all levels. Next year we will see a 650hp corvette for around $100k and that should more than make up for the gap between corvette and the super exotics. Not to mention that companies like Hennesey, Callaway, and Lingenfelter(spelling?) make versions of the viper and corvette that equal or surpass the offerrings of many of Europes finest tuners and specialty car builders.

obama said it..

c6 z06 is proof that the opposition actually has some good performers as well.

besides, i cant comment on modern day lamborghinis... i mean audi.

dude, why the fuck are you questioning me. i didnt rub my boots on eddie murphies couch, dont be rediculous..

yeah i rubbed my boots on eddie murphys couch, because he could by another couch.

think about it. vw and audi both suck. audi sucks a bit less because they attempt to make shit like the audi r8, s4, etc.. which shouldnt suck, because they actually kick ass.

except for one thing, they suck.

look man, dont blame me for the confusion. its audi's fault for partially making cars that perform (when they work). hence the reason why they suck.

make sense? no. thought so. fuck you.
