Default Re: Often Imitated but never duplicated-- Audi?

I saw a Bentley model that had a spoiler that looked like the crossfire. Now the Audi TT has them.

I saw a new Audi TT this past weekend. Nobody around on a 70 MPH strip of highway. No exit/entrance ramps for miles in the middle of country land. He was messing with me and the Crossfire was keeping up. It looked like he had an AMG logo or something on the back (couldn't tell because I was mostly in front of him). He punched it and I punched it.... but the most he would do is 120 before he backed off. I just took off.

I think most people see a Chrysler logo and assume it can't handle the high speed like a German car. They think Hemi power but not good at high speeds. Nothing is better than the element of surprise.
Volkswagen had pop-up spoilers before the crossfire. volks=audi=porsche=bentley
