there is no rs5 avant though. the avant is purely 4 and 6 while the sportback is 5 and 7? ???

Your right @louisbosco - I meant RS4 Avant, and more specifically Avants in general. We don't get any performance versions sadly . Not that my Audi experiences have been positive enough for me to drop coin on one, though…

@Appfaff:
Considering that it was in the shop for 2 months, I bet you are well below your mileage, so you might get out ahead

Mileage is a bit different on this lease. My wife’s company is owned by the Volkswagen Group. She can lease up to four Audi’s or VW’s at a time for the family at 1% of MSRP with absolutely no drive off  or associated fees and they even cover insurance ( why it had to be repaired at shop that they contract with ) The car has to be kept a minimum of 8 months and no longer than a year, It can be turned in early if you reach 8000 miles. One heck of a perk. A friend of mine is driving a seven at almost 3 times what I pay for mine

Cheers

Yep - sounds like one heck of a deal!

This or that…

I have a 1984 Toyota FJ45 in factory 464 Beige color.  I'm in the market for a soft top I'm trying to decide between the classic tan or the black.  Any opinions?

FJ Company's $200K FJ45 restore.  It's not mine obviously, but same color and wheel base.

Here's a FJ43 (2ft shorter) in beige with a black top

[Appfaff]

I like the beige

For a motor that will never leave the showroom that light colour will look lovely, in real life however, the black for me

[motojobobo]

I think the black looks better. I would pick the beige only for temperature convenience, if I were to use the FJ45 in a sunny, hot place.

Funnily enough, @Warner and I were winding each other up about these last week…

Jonathon from Icon takes his vehicles to the degree of amazing that everyone on this message board has come to expect from the places they're spending their hard earned (and found) money! Love his work, truly great stuff. Working on a gold bracelet for FJ trade out of him now!

@Clint_D @FormulaPfaff and I saw an Icon Bronco in Austin while we were there in November and it was a thing of true beauty.

I visit their website almost weekly…

Maybe one day They will start taking 100-Series for the ICON  treatment so I can send mine off

It's very odd to see an SUV that looks like a Phantom, same case with the Bentayga (that looks like a bastard Conti. GT). RR (or BMW) and Bentley (VW) should've designed them with more unique characteristics instead of simply putting a well-known front on an SUV chassis.

[Appfaff]

I usually like BMW products but the rolls suv feels like it’s late to the party.

Plus it’s hideous

Edit: well, i just watched 4 minutes of that video and now instantaneously want one…

As sedan sales are declining every luxurious/super sports car manufacturer is jumping on the SUV bandwagon (no pun intended): Bentley, RR, Lambo, Ferrari, Aston Martin etc.

I'd have preferred Bentley or Rolls Royce to have built a hybrid SUV / saloon, along the lines of Nick Ashley's Strange Rover.
