Audi drivers with passion and taste whatever next - it seems that if people could get over the perception regarding reliability there would be more Alfa drivers around, still that's their loss.

Re: How the Audi boys percieve us.
Well they must have a thing for the 156 aswell as I have noticed that just about every time I get to go for a run down the motorway I find myself tailed by an Audi of some kind - probabaly reps wishing their budget could afford the service costs.

Re: How the Audi boys percieve us.
I'm sure some of the Audi boys would love to see this video;

Video Alfa Romeo 147 Gta Vs Audi A3 V6 Dsg - voiture, autoroute, run, vitesse, v6 - Dailymotion Share Your Videos

Alfa-1 Audi -0

About 2 years ago had a dabble with a Golf R32 and there really is no comparison in a straight line .
Alfa-1 VW-0

Lets not be too smug though, most of them rated the 147 GTA so... Credit where its due.

I dont know if it is Big Man?
Lets face it.. If someone put a cool wall on here about the 3.2 A3, then i would expect.. nice car and well built, but boring, dull etc.. and a generally uncool reception. (which they are )

For 'Audi' people its not a bad view.

I think Bf's comment was tongue in cheek.

They seem a decent bunch in there. I bet you wouldnt have those nice comments in BMW forums.

Re: How the Audi boys percieve us.
For a car to be cool it needs these 4 ingredients:-

a) Raicing heritage
b) has had or is in financial trouble
c) Beautifull or has attitude
d) Italian.

Re: How the Audi boys percieve us.
Actually there's some pretty decent blokes on http://www.bmwland.co.uk. They seem to be car fans first and foremost, not just BMW fans. Like me, they appreciate a good car regardless of badge. To be fair though, these are mostly the owners of the older BMWs, E34 5 series in particular.

Which sadly seems pretty much the opposite of Alfaowner nowadays.
What is it with all the slagging-off of BMW's, Audi's etc. and categorising people by which car they drive?
