I'd like to see your proof for that statement. Audi isn't in business
to make cars, they are in business to make money. If this were the
case, they'd be gone from the US market, or adjust their prices so
they weren't losing money.

They had an S5 at the NY Auto Show - GREAT looking car, but it was in
white which doesn't do it justice. They had an R8 there as well, but
it was also in white, for some strange reason.

Amazingly the UK is actually the biggest market for Audi outside of Germany.
I guess the US will be next.

In Europe, white is the new trendy color.

have not noticed it in the UK..........Silver is still the big thing. Makes
most motors look more valuable I suppose and needs less cleaning.
