Well said.

I own an A6 avant (and still have my last 100Q). I don't see
why everyone thinks a car isn't a *real* car unless it can
hurt you accelerating. My dog, who sits in the way-back (he is,
after all, why I got the car) agrees.

And especially after getting around this morning in 6" of
wet, muddy, snowy slush, I have to think that 50 extra horses
would have made the drive a lot worse, not better.

Both my cars get around just fine. Ask anyone behind me on the
first Kanc run or last summer's Mt. Washington caravan.
