Despite all of the cosmetic and minor functionality issues this car runs like silk. Purchased this car 7 years ago for our oldest Son it has been subsequently sold to the other 2 younger Sons. Never in an accident while in the possession of those Sons we originally went through the entire cooling system as it was a NJ car with a lot of rust on the cooling manifold. Went through the entire system and replaced the manifold and all hoses, radiator, and water pump with all new parts right down to the clamps on the hoses. Then we took it to the Audi dedicated independent mechanic and told him to go from front to back to replace anything that needed replacement for functionality.

The we had the car detailed and Teflon-ed on the outside before giving it to the oldest Son who lived and attended college in Colorado Springs- which can have brutal weather at times. Anything it needed for functionality I or my Sons replaced or paid a professional to replace. Recently my youngest Son replaced the subplates that hold the tail light bulbs. Pretty meticulous.

Tires will have to be replaced somewhere between 5000-10000 miles depending on where you live. The car recently went in to the Mechanic to determine whether it needed a new head gasket but was found to have a leaking assembly plate and a slightly worn water pump (which then in my opinion, a water pump that needs replacing) soooo.... a new water pump, belt tensioner, timing belt (best to replace when it is all apart), and new lower hoses. Synthetic oil change has just been performed and a K&N filter has been in the car for a few years. Replaced the rear muffler within the last year.

My second Son bought the rims for the car and had the window tinted. He took my advice and bought 5 rims and tires so the spare matches the others.

Really this car is still striking from a distance though it is showing its age. The paint is still very strong with no rust issues (we deionized the underside of the car when we first received it and occasionally still do now) but the pinstripe needs to be taken off as it is tired and partially off now. A perfect car for a kid living in a place that gets real weather. Has a Bose factory stereo (w/functional cd changer) that needs one speaker fixed (right rear-easy access). AM/FM not sure about but I believe FM works and my boys used a MP3 broadcaster for their Ipods (the cigarette lighter works) We have over the years replaced all of the reservoirs containing fluids, that bugs me when you can't see the condition...

Heated seats, though the leather on the front seats either need to be fixed or at the very least covered as the leather is really torn on the driver's side and the passenger side has a 1 inch tear.

Transmission and engine are unusually silky for ANY car with over 80,000 miles on it. Just runs down the road like silk and I almost can't imagine it better than when it was new, for $38000! Handling in bad weather is surreal for traction and it feels like it runs on rails.

That is the rundown... It's as honest as I can recall and I might just give it away unless someone buys it. Donated the car is worth probably $1000 in net writeoff but worth $2500 and I just put $800+ in to it in the last month and it really should go to someone who was in the situation that I was in when I first bought it. If you have a heat gun and a couple of hours and $200 after you spent the $1000 to $1600 to buy this thing I believe that you will come away with a pretty darn good car...

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

The awards honor the most significant automotive designs revealed at NAIAS as determined by the North American and global leaders of design from automotive manufacturers, along with academic chairs of transportation design programs and design leaders from other fields.

Next-gen Audi A7 design to be 'radical'

Wed, Dec 24 2014

The Prologue concept has our attention. In fact, it has everyone's attention. It is the preview for the coming A7, and Autocar summarized Audi design chief Marc Lichte's concerning the new A7 as, "A more radical design is promised for the next-generation." In fact, the next A7 is said to become "the most radical" of three coming designs inspired by the Prologue, the others being the new A6 and A8. Autocar also said Lichte made it clear that there would be "much greater visual differentiation between the trio and other future Audis." Yet, for at least four years Audi has been talking about a design overhaul to fight back charges that its cars look too similar. In 2011 there was a "design initiative" dubbed AQR to make sure that "the design details will be different" between its hatchbacks, Quattro offerings and R Sports cars, and make proportion changes to its sedans. That didn't really move the needle. In 2013, then-design boss Wolfgang Egger hailed the end of "scalable design," a prime culprit for the 'same sausage, different lengths' accusations. We're not sure the needle moved much then, either. And this year came news of a new "Quattro-centric" design language that would stress horizontals, perhaps the new Q7 it's first serious proponent, a crossover that we'll have to see before we can judge. Although we've heard the bells ringing about fresh design at Audi for years, we hope they mean it with products that come after the Prologue; it is a fabulous place to start.
