[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16310794, member: 155561"] I got my 2017 A4 a few months ago after browsing the "luxury" brands, and my personal opinion is Audi > Lexus. The one caveat is I would get a B9 A4 over the B8. The lexus just had an uninspired interior to me. It wasn't poor quality, but some things were in odd places, and it somewhat felt like if you asked a person who had never been in a "luxury car" what their idea of a luxury car was. Everything was just close, but not quite. The Audi, while "plain" is executed perfectly, everything falls to hand perfectly and all the dials and switches give amazing feedback. I'd also bet the engine is under rated, because this thing is a lot quicker than 250 hp and full time AWD would lead you to believe. I'll admit I was put off by German car's reputations initially, but after getting in here and looking at it and working on a few things, it's no different than any other car. Just nuts and bolts. I'm also getting over 30 mpg consistently (80-90% highway driving) which I'm quite happy with. If I was going Japanese, I'd be going Acura. Still have my eye on that new RDX for the wife in a few years. All "Luxury" brands do, its because the prices are so inflated from the get go that people just lease them, and then leased cars hit the market at actual market value. My A4 new would have been like $48k roughly. I bought it 2 years old with 28k miles on it for $28, and I feel it's every bit of $28k... 48k, not so much. [/QUOTE]
