Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's never going to happen. If you are sick of hearing how EV's are faster, you may as well go get one. Not much an ICE engine can do against 1000+hp electrics for $100-150k.

Don't tell me that, I want to at least stay in my denial. My brother is getting to rent one of Hertz's Tesla Model 3 next month so I'll give her a whirl.

The only Audi that's ever spoken to me is the A8 from the 00s, what Statham drove in Transporter 2. Elegant looking cars, just not for me.

But then on the flip side you have BMW who's coked out of their minds. Design dept is clearly run by the marketing dept.

Haha - that just goes to show ya everyone has their own taste. I have a '21 M4 and LOVE the design language even though it's a well known hated design on this website.

Audis look boring? You are out of your mind! Go check out the RS6/RS7 and tell me they look boring. RS5 is a gorgeous, too. Love the side profile!

I like the looks of the RS6/RS7. RS5 is too conservative and looks boring

I didn't say they look boring, just they don't really do anything for me personally. They are understated but certainly handsome cars. I feel similarly about Mercedes, a E63 or AMG GT sedan are attractive but I just don't feel attracted to them in the way I do toward an M5 or M8.

BMW just historically has a "look" and brand image that draws me in. Same with Porsche.

If you are looking for EV performance, better be ready to build something in the 1000 HP range.
