Now, now...........Let's spread the credit around: Remember the Audi and its infamous "unintended acceleration"? I had an Audi(VW Fox) and it was the biggest POS I ever owned. Still would never buy one of those things.
Audi's "unintended acceleration" problem was the result of a number of things. A small FI glitch that could raise idle levels, a set of pedals located slightly more to the left than on other cars, and idiot drivers who put cars in gear without their foot on the brake pedal, and then pushed the gas pedal as hard as they could to stop the car. Then "60 Minutes" hired a guy to rig up an Audi auto transmission so that internal hydraulic pressure could feed back through the throttle linkage, not something that could ever happen by accident, and passed it off as proof of the problem. More honest reporting from the MSM.
Having said that, I'm not disagreeing that Audis of that time (and maybe even still) were big POS. I remember helping a friend install a car stereo in an Audi 5000 - the freaking battery was under the rear seat. Real handy, huh?
