WTF?!?!? why is that on the front of a VW mag? and if they must put an audi on the cover, couldn't they at least find a good looking one?

If audi's are the new golf, then that deserves a a place in the worst looking golfs thread!

Im not a great fan of that car, or most of the A4's that they feature.

But it is about a celebrity feature really, hes a big scene name an runs a bangin show can take risks others prob wouldnt.

There appears to be some sort of a w*nker sitting in it.

Definitely an Aldi then.

Most of the people on this forum who now own an Audi (like myself), originally owned Golfs when they joined and have remained active members even though they now own different cars.
It's possible that the owner of that orange Aldi on the cover also likes VWs/Golfs but currently his show-mobile is an Audi.
Journalistically ( :rolleyes: ) I don't think they could justify having an Audi on the front of a VW mag if it wasn't for the fact that the guy apparently runs one of the scene shows.

That said even though I own an Audi A4 Avant of that style, I don't like the look of it, and he looks like a bit of a thingy in the photo.

Agreed. WTF.

In fairness though the last PVW I read had an article about a rally quattro in it. Certainly didn't mind reading about that. In fact that was a good issue, much more performance orientated.

Latest cover does nothing for me. Sorry PVW.

People who shop at Aldi for some reason feel superior to those who shop at Lidl.

Even though they are in all but name, exactly the same.*






* An Analogy before you Golf owners start complaining.  If I have to explain, you're clearly a moron.

Went in 58 plate A3 today that belongs to a co-worker. Not impressed. I don't know where this idea of Audi quality comes from but I though the interior plastics were horrid and not as good as those in my my Mum's MKIV Bora!!!! Also the stitching on the leather wheel looked poor.

No, no it's not.


Thing is, they really are just like golfs...

we have mk6 golf GTD and a Audi A3 here, both a year old.. when your sat inside, its very hard to tell which one your in, same switch gear, same materials, same displays.. same engines.. everything is same but id say the paint is better on the audis


Then you have the Seats and skodas  (these are the VW & Audi Wannabe's IMO)


Quite like the Audi on the mag cover, sh!te colour but like the car

Tbf Carl has owned one of the most iconic mk3s of all time and has reworked this many times. Audis are part of the wider VAG family and  like it or loath it magazines need to expand and change due to the times or die like max power

Not my cuppa, he does look like a twit especially with his middle finger up and I don't get the hate just because an Audi is on the front cover, maybe if the twit wasn't sitting in it with his finger up it'd have less hate? :undecided: At the end of the day it's a 'posh' VW, with a different front end and badge on the steering wheel - who cares if it's on the front cover?! It it were a French, Jap or other non-VAG car I'd understand!

It mentioned about featuring audi couple of months back. They said that the vw/vag scene has came a long way since when it first started. And that it is more of a vag mag now.

Who gives a sh!t. They only put nice cars in there for us to look at.
