Renault Megane RS Trophy's ring time beats BMW 1-Series M Coupe's [video] Dude, we reported on the Trophy's record the same day it happened - June 17. The 1-Series lap time came after that. Other sites reported it but no one bothered pointing out the glaringly obvious and they all missed the story - which is that a FWD Megane RS Trophy with 75 less HP and about half the price of the RWD 1-Series M Coupe beat it by 7 seconds on the Nurburgring. Reporting means not just reporting facts but finding the core of the story, which we did ahead of our competitors.

Globally, though, it's usually a battle between BMW, Mercedes and Audi, with Audi still trailing the first two more established brands.

No new Audi RS4 to be developed - RS6 instead 1nsider, do you have any inside information?

Audi A1 sales sluggish - dealers blame high price A lot of analysts are saying much the same thing as the comments here. That the A1 is not distinct enough, like the MINI is, to warrant such a high price. It's really just a smaller Audi and that may not be enough to attract the kinds of young buyers it needs. Mini's are expensive too, compared to the likes of more practical models such as the Renault Clio or VW Polo. But they have a mystique that those models don't have. And the A1's success or failure depends on it creating the same kind of thing.
