Same. Until I'm rich, I probably wont spend more than $10k on buying a car, not including mods. The best car is the one you design yourself

335i makes 300 torque at the wheels from 1400-5000. Only difference is much less than 40 mpg, which I doubt the A5 TDI would have with U.S. MPG and 2008 standards.
I think half of Audi's lineup should include the Q7's V12 TDI option.

Meh, not quite 10x, but better yes. The S5 was based on the E92 coupe though. Anyways I'd rather have the sedan over the coupe, especially if I could have the coupe front end on the sedan body (like the M3).
Sedan is shorter, wider, and only 20 lbs more, which one can easily get around.
