Isn't audi releasing a supercar? Maybe they don't want the 2 to compete with each other in a small market...

They pulled the plug cos
1) They own Lambo
2) Who'd buy a VW supercar when people are having difficulty getting their head around shelling out £30k+ for any VW?

VW should stick to their market. 1 supercar won't make much difference, and it's like strapping a Ferrari symbol on the front of your golf :P

I don't think there is a 'car guy' in the world that doesn't respect german engineering.

THe only German i like is RUF or Porsche. VW are ok, but in my opinion, i don't think they are all that great.

Of course they dont arouse the same kind of emotion as a RUF or Porsche, but theres no denying they are fantastically well built, great quality cars.

so very true jay and they are also more easily attained for some people that cant make RUF money id just like to take a corrado slc and put a turbo in it maybe 4motion that is still less than a used 930 turbo.

Precisely, VW have made some wonderful cars the public couldnt help but embrace... the original beetle after all is the best selling car of all time, so its fair to say one or two people liked it! The Golf GTi arguably defined the hot hatch and handled like a sportscar whilst offering practicality at the same time. The Mk2 GTi was wonderful and has rarely been equalled since its death, by any manufacturer. The Corrado VR6 is an example of perfect engineering and an absolutely wonderful car. With their current "soft" offerings its all too easy to think VW dont make desirable cars. Which is a big mistake to make. Hopefully Burnt Fishtrousers will get his act together though and go back to the glory days
