Don't believe the lies. The Audi R8 TDI has a road bending 738ft/lbs
of torque and a 12 cylinder engine and yet gets fuel economy better
than the C6 ZO6 on the highway, and far better in the city. It sound
and looks a hell of a lot better than any redneck gm car any day of
the week too. This is what a good looking car is supposed to look like
not like a Corvette.

Oh, comparing apples to grapefruits, are we?

Does the R8 TDI not even exist as a production vehicle yet?
And when it does go into production, will it not cost at least twice as
a much as any Vette?
Oh, and finally, is not the R8 TDI a *DIESEL* motor?

I'm not knocking the R8 TDI at all. That is one advanced piece of
motoring mayhem that I would just love to have in my driveway, diesel
and all.

But to compare a brand new concept using un-related technologies to an
existing Vette is not exactly a fair comparison. By far.

You sound like someone who would do anything, even twists facts around,
to win an argument.

I suppose you beleive Hillary when she was taking sniper fire in Bosnia,
too.

That TDi V12 smoker has eaten ALL the luggage space!

Time for VW/audi to make a VR/WR diesel?

Sal; "You" & "Tube" are really two words that belong together. The
exact opposite of an oxymoron.

Those W motors were very fascinating technolgy, but in the end, how
pratical were they? They let a manufacture put a bigger motor into a
smaller engine bay. The space savings wasn't all that much when compared
to a V6 or V8 of the same displacement. AND, they were less powerful
than their V configured counterparts as well.

It's the inline 6 which is all but extinct, having been taken over by
the V6.
