I kinda wish they had a lot more luxury cars at these auto shows though, I've been going to the one in DC for the last three years and they were pretty weak.

Come to the one in Detroit. Best one in the nation. They do have luxury cars. 
Every year I go and I am somewhat amazed by the amount of luxury cars are there.

NT is pretty much Audi-Fanboy central..

i'd drive a M1 in a second.  yea it's ugly as hell but it's a beast.

i seriously hope audi doesn't drop a hybrid.  hybrids are so corny. all these sheep out here think they are really doing the environment a favor.  i'd be disappointed to see VAG drop a hybrid.  especially since they have the TDI.

Is that a typo? Or is the peak torque in the 1M that much higher/at an earlier RPM than the M3?

I like the current Audi A6/S6 more than the new one. It seems like for the past few years they've only been concentrating on changing the lights, bumpers, and grille. The changes don't really flow with the car from front to rear, though. Aside from the bumpers, the profile of the car has looked the same for the past 3 or 4 generations.
