I have no desire to own a VW or MBZ nor do I want a large car. I test drove a few Audi's and didn't think they were that great. I had a Bimmer and may get another in a couple years or so. I've considered a Porsche, but I want my DD to have 4 doors. I'm not big on the idea of having two cars.
I like having two cars, however having two nice cars can be a pain at times. I like being able to park my E36 outside and not care too much.
I had two cars for several years and it was nice to have a back up when I was fixing or modding one of them, but that was also the problem. I was constantly working on them.
I like having multiple cars, with cars serving individual roles. I have 3 right now, but I've had as many as 5-6 at once in the past. But, I like cars, and make sure than my life circumstances support multiple cars and a place to work on the ones I want to work on.
I love comments that throw VW into the blah category, which follows with Audi being thrown up next to Mercedes. I know there are vast differences in model design, particularly with offerings like the R8 and A5. But when you consider commonality of parts, sensors, engines, transmissions, wheel design, etc etc etc there's very little that really separates the two brands (although it's getting further away as VW cheapens some models). In the previous guise, there was little separating the Golf/A3, Jetta/A4, Passat/A6, Phaeton/A8 except the price tags and the availability of AWD. There was also common architecture, but the Golf/Jetta/A3 were on one chassis, while the A4/Passat were on another, and the Phaeton and A8 shared a very similar chassis if memory serves me right. Engines are essentially offered across all lineups too, minus a naturally aspirated 2.5L Inline 5 in the VW lineup...a turbocharged and direct injected version of that engine does live in the Audi Lineup though in the TT.
