Over the past couple of weeks have been engaged in favorite pastime of testing new cars. What will replace the 9K? 3-series has better handling but worse seating and cargo. New 5-series (the 2011 535) is far more powerful but feels huge, rides numb, and has an 8-speed that hunts all the time, so you never feel that pleasurable torquey wind-up of the revs that comes every day in the 9K. The 3.0T A6 is nice, great engine, pretty well-sorted, but has an odd vagueness in its steering and a cheap aluminum panel around the speedo. And no hatch. Etc.
I don't think we're going to see this particular combination of virtues again.
Looking forward to a 150 mi run first thing tomorrow a.m!
