that's an extra cost that has to be factored in when you decide to buy the
car. I think tirerack or most local racing/performace car places will do
this for a few.

this is all I'm saying some will, not all, but there are very few VW/Audi
service centers, but alas peter and his merry men don't see this.

You have a case of selective vision. You ignore what's important and you focus on what's not. FYI - I corrected myself right after I saw my typo. Besides, for the purpose of this discussion, it did not matter whether it was RWD or FWD. It only mattered that Nissan also decided to make an AWD version in addition.
Sigh... arguing with you is becoming tiring. Hopefully by now everyone else realized that you don't have a single valid point in this discussion, so this is EOT from my end.

Hmm. Let's see.. (counts on fingers) four franchised Audi centres within 20
minutes' drive, three or four VWs (can't remember - I don't own a VW).
One Toyota dealer (oh, hang on, they're Jaguar now, so that doesn't count).
Nissan? Nearest one is a good hour away.
Of course, I don't live in the same place as you do (one reason for avoiding
silly sweeping statements)

Ever thought of taking an English Comp course at your local community college?

No; *you* do us that favor, you marginally literate ignoramus. It is not
Pete, but *you* who has lowered the standard here. While I try very hard to
refrain from criticizing one whose native language may not be English, you
have yet to make a single post with even *one* proper sentence in correctly
spelled English words. On top of that, you don't seem to have a *clue* what
you're writing about. I'm beginning to find it annoying.
