It has nothing to do with "Putt-Putt Land".  Ever been on an Autobahn?  It's 
the _BMWs_ that clog up the fast lane, going nowhere.  Seriously - BTDT.

Audi, need I remind you, won _ALL_ _SEVEN_ of the national touring car 
championships last year.

Just like I can't get quattro on an A4 1.8T, so you can't get decent 
performance.  Bitch at AoA - it's "not available in your country".  Maybe 
they're afraid of delivering too much power and getting pilloried again.
