Not arguing bro, I'm a fan of both and have onwed all German brands... I've sold them for 15 years and am currently an Audi finance manager. I was just saying that a 4 banger is running with some big company... Extremely fun car to drive

I feel you. I like Audi. They make great vehicles. I'm just being objective about the performance of those three German brands. Neither their racing history nor the performance of their F1 cars in Le Mans (which they've abandoned) or elsewhere matters when comparing the performance of their production models head-to-head to BMW and Mercedes.

Mercedes has managed to pull even with the performance (although not as efficient) of the M4 with the new AMG C63S coupe. The M5 edges out the AMG E class but the AMG GTs is better than anything BMW makes, including the i8.

What I'm saying is that other than the R8, Audi hasn't been able to compete with those models and they've somewhat gone a different route than pure performance.
