Audi RS4 vs. Ferrari F430

Like most of us, we'll likely pick the F430. But if you look at it in a humane way, the RS4 is likely easier to live with. Plus it costs like 150,000 dollars less.

So yes, it's up to you young one. You must choose yourself

Bizarre comparo! But to be honest, I'd choose the RS4 and invest the difference in something less financially unfriendly. Besides, the RS4 is a quality car and is a definite sleeper (and significantly easier to live with as you mentioned). But anyway, these two cars aren't intended to compete with each other, so at the end of the day, whichever you choose is dependent on what you're looking for.

So is a Citroën Mehari. And you can spend the rest on a small farm and fill it with pigs.

I already said it was diliberatly absurd. But in a good way, it's a matter of taste, and of self-objectives and goals. Besides, look at it this way, most people have already picked the RS4, over a FERRARI!

I see it as a way of noticing this new trend we have towards civility as citizens ourselves.

Most people who take your threads seriously are either distracted or sleepy.

Wow! Now this is going the way it should. Maybe we could open a section called automotive filosophy...

lol. Yes of course I would Mushkov.

As termoil in the middle east increase, I think people, as a whole, see cars as a way of transportation now, more then ever. We'll always look at them as fun, which is why high performance models continue to still be made. But I think we are also looking at the fact that:

A. Fule is low, as is oil, and we need to conserve
B. Fun is costing much more lately (Read F430)
C. We still want refinement and we are going through another baby boom
D. We need a car that is much more versatile then an all out hypercar.

There, I have clarified.

So you are saying people are buying a RS4 instead of a F430 because of the raising fuel prices? Where do you get your information? Nightly meditation sessions?

No I'm not, lol. I'm saying that people have become much more settled down, at least in my opinion. I hope you can understand.

No it makes no sense at all, just like this comparison. You can not state buying trends as an opinion; I could have the opinion that Smarts are faster than Ferraris, but that does not make it so.
