- Kendahl I will look at my phone long enough to determine whether the caller is someone I really should talk to. If it is, I keep driving until I find a safe place to pull over before answering. If it isn't, to hell with them.I am greatly annoyed by people who sit at green traffic lights or drive well below the speed limit because they are focused on their phones instead of their driving. However, I don't express my frustration because (1) they don't think they're being inconsiderate and (2) may retaliate with road rage.

I can't understand the rear light treatment on Audis. Definitely the worst angle. Why does the Audi design philosophy of "same sausage different sizes" have to extend to their cars AND SUVs. This A3 has the same rear look of the Q5 not pretty and definitely not sporty.
The good thing is that this will be the basis for the next GTI. I await it with bated breath.
