Scott this is the 2nd time you've had a post while listening to Playboy radio. This and the 750 or M3 I forget which one. This is why Scott should stick to the Prius. It's unexciting and doesn't have sattelite radio.

I'm thinking he's doing the Playboy thing now just to screw with us.

I like that color screen in the middle. THAT is how a high class gauge cluster looks.

I like the look of those digitial displays on the Audi's. Clear, great contrast, high resolution. Anyone know what type it is? Organic LED?

Radio Playboy? Seems to be a regular channel for you.

Radio Playboy is the bomb. My wife and I listen to Tiffany Granath as much as possible in the afternoons.

I can just listen to my neighbors through the wall for the Playboy Channel.

I can't help but wonder about the utility of _radio_ Playboy.

@1487:

So.... in regards to the M3, are you talking about the screen you don't like then, or the entire gauge cluster? Because the Audi's actual GAUGES aren't any better. They don't even have a variable redline! Pfft. But if you're talking about just the screen in the middle, that I can agree on, BMW should improve that.

The variable redline is necessary due to the engine. That is not a feature the Audi needs. Same applies to most cars. The Audi has better styling, fonts, and LED backlighting and the screen. The Audi's gauges look modern and expensive. The M3s look like relics from the 90s.
