Maybe it should be "Lipstick on a pig".

Their cars look great and that's about it. Super overpriced. Reliability sucks. Poor fit and finish with stuff that simply doesn't work (we unfortunately own a $100K one now with loads of problems brand new). They drive like crap...nose heavy. Acceleration is average but the transmissions suck hard (unrefined).

If Audi should change their slogan, MB should have changed it 20 years ago.

"The best or nothing" should really be "A little better than nothing", because of the brand's unbelievably bad reliability and new car delivered quality.

Maybe you're thinking Aldi? This is their slogan and logo down here

You can't seriously be talking about one of the most recognised slogans in the motoring world, can you???

I know the ultimate driving machine, which IMO has been BS for a while now and built ford tough. That's it. I couldn't tell you what the slogan is for any other car brand. So if the criteria for changing is people not knowing the slogan I'm guessing they all need to change theirs.

Yet, my S3 outperforms the M240 I looked at.

Too bad that you haven't met my former Audi RS5 on track and seen your F80 smoked and all lousy e's as well
BMW isn't untouchable even you may glorify this brand to the stars and back.

Don't know about slogan but up to around 2000 Audi was pronounced normally as 'Uwdi' and now it's Audi. I'm sick and tired of Audi salesmen saying it their way with the accent on the a when I say it my way.

Seriously, it's like those Yahoo news articles, describing a photo, but not actually posting the photo in the article. Let the reader go do the research. No common sense.

Didn't Audi's slogan used to be "Faulty advancement through the brake pedal"?
