    @ravedown: The newer Audis really aren't that bad from my experience, either. The only exception being in the earlier part of this decade, the DIS display goes out in all VAG products. It's now down to a $180 fix, but you have to ship the cluster to Mississagua, Ontario or something.

    I know this is petty, but hey, that's the kind of guy I am. I hate the Peugeot on looks alone. It looks like a reworked 2001 Lola or something. It's ugly, awkward and uninspiring compared to the modern, cut-bodied and shark-finned Audi and the sharp and lithe Astons. The ACO should add a rule that if you're going to have the quiet drony diesel, you have to make the car look awesome.


    The 905 that Peugeot won with in 1994 looked like it had dropped straight onto the racetrack from space. The 908 looks like it dropped straight on the racetrack from 1994.
