fast it is indeed and definitely looks a lot better inside than the BMW, though i am not a big fan of the front design, actually the headlapms, gives the car a sad face ...they all say about Audi that the engine comes too much in front of the axle, but that is mainly because of the Quattro system, you can't really push the engine too much behind or you won't be able to fit the front axles, never had a look under the bonnet of an xdrive, i am curious how the engine seats there...i guess the solution would be to use a front differential somehow parallel with the engine instead of the longitudinal position they have now...anyway, i've rather have the Quattro safety with all that power than the RWD with the same amount of hp...
