i friggin HATE audis. they suck. i've seen them spend more time in repair shops, than in their owners driveways. everything from needing a thermostat and/or water pump at only 40-60k miles, to timing belts which require the removal of the entire nose of the car to do. they're not comfortable to sit in either. at least not the ones i've driven.
i don't much care for mercedes, but i also don't have any good reasons for not liking them. it's kind of a euro version of the ford/chevy thing for me.
while i acknowledge porshce as a good car.....i don't like em. they're ugly, and make annoying noise. i drove a cayanne s the other day after putting brakes on it. worst driving vehicle of that type i've ever driven.
i love volvos, 'cause those things are like ****roaches. they'll be here and running when everything else is long gone.
jaguar, saab, fiat........meh

Coming from Sweden myself I found that comment very funny and so true!
I have had a few 240's and 940's and the abuse they will take is insane, they will truly run forever! My 940 had over 287k miles on it when I sold it and not once did it leave me stranded or break down in any way.
I agree with some of the issues on the Audi's, however my wifes 2008 Audi RS4 with the 420hp V8 was an awesoem car. 50k miles of hard track racing abuse, driving across Europe and daily driving in all weather and had no issues at all. But the RS cars differ in many ways over the standard Audi's.
On a side note, I for one am looking forward to see what the GT500 will do at the Ring, I have 500 laps under my belt at that track so I finds those times very interesting!
