education for car buyers on the fact that claiming you have "cash" will not get you a better deal on your new car :P

A proper affordable electric car and for it to look good rather than the odd looking ones they have done so far.

....That's a cool idea but I think it would run the risk of not meeting up to enthusiast's expectations. Rather like if the guvn'ment took over cannabis production, they would dumb it down (and also charge mega tax). We already have 'Audi tax'.

you say that, but it works well with Mini and the JCW parts, and Ford and the Mountune parts, and to a similar degree Mercedes and the BRABUS parts and BMW and BMW Performance parts

plus you can buy "Stasis" parts from Audi dealers in the USA. just imagine if you could have your brand new car Revo'd before you event collected it and it didn't affect the warranty?

....I agree. I'm not against the idea - I think it's good. I just think that some of the car manufacturers charge too much extra and that if it killed the independent aftermarket industry (probably highly unlikely) then it would spoil our opportunities to individualise.  :happy2:

Audi's quattro Sport Differential is a good example of an awesome factory option but it costs an arm and a leg. As do the Recaro seat options, but at least we get the chance to have Recaro's.

you'd imagine that if popularity for products grows their price would come down

BMW Performance brakes are only £1025, which i think is quite reasonable. however i don't know if they're any good. they might just be the MD's turd that he's put a BMW badge on to further separate boasting motorway terrorists from their sales commission money
