It so happens that I have a bunch of VW parts in the driveway. Two cars worth, in fact.

The cars have been reliable, pleasant to drive and well worth every penny that I paid for them. As for the parts themselves, I find them to be well engineered and manufactured.

VW makes good cars. Audi makes good cars (and had there been a reputable dealer near me I would own one now). BMW makes good cars. And to tell the truth so does everyone else in 2008. It is a matter of finding the vehicle whose function, tradeoffs and price point fit your needs.

No matter how bad the economy gets, people will always believe they can afford shit they can't...

The A5 is beautiful but I was disappointed with how large the car felt in person. Its huge! I just wanted to hit command+t and scale the whole thing down 15% on the dealership floor. Audi does make fantastic interiors there is no doubt about that. As you say though, the car is just not sporty enough

I give Audi credit for making it look really nice. E9X's are too common

Perhaps Audi's financing bar is a lot lower than MB, BMW, and Porsche.
I actually see far less new Audis than BMWs around me. Audis have gotten very expensive IMO.

I think its because BMW offers more aggresive lease deals than Audi. At least they did about 5 months ago.

Own one or talk to a reliable family member who owns one (because friends will lie and say their car is perfect to avoid admitting to a shitty investment) and then get back to me
