Default Crazy comparo with needed advice

First off, not sure if this should go in JK Talk or OT because it deals with JK's. Mods, feel free to move it if need be.

So I am a car enthusiast. Which means I appreciate all cars for different reasons. I will be in the market for a new car in a year or so, and would like some advice.

There are two cars I'm really debating between; the first being an Audi A4 2.0T. I like this car because it's classy, luxurious, the interior is to die for, it has all the bells and whistles, and lastly, it has Quattro. (very good for Cleveland weather)

The second, obviously is a 4 door JK. I love this car because it is raw and primitive; and in a way, that appeals to me. The way the car is so basic but provides an outstanding driving experience is great. The top comes off, it has 4WD, and can be bought brand new, whereas the Audi would be slightly used; probably less than 10,000 miles.

These are both awesome machines in their own respect. I also like that they are both offered in manual. I know it seems crazy, but like I said, I'm a car enthusiast, so I like all sorts of cars.

I will post this on the Audi forums as well, but german car owners tend to be complete fanboys and think that their car is god's gift to mankind so I was hoping for a little less bias here; not that I don't expect it, but the response might not be as harsh.

Thanks in advance guys!

lol I know what you mean. I'm just completely torn between these two though. I like the class and style that the Audi offers, but I like the capability and comradery that comes with the Jeeep

VW/Audis are crap unless they are diesel.

GET THE AUDI!!!

you know I don't mean that, and come on, you know you really want the Jeep. The Audi is just a car, but the Jeep is a Jeep!

I kept trying to talk myself into selling my 96 GTI VR6 to order a JK, but couldnt do it. I LOVE my VW...and will just save a bit more and get a JK too.

Default I'm trading my Audi for an Unlimited Sahara

I'm in the process of finalizing an order for an 08 Unlimited Sahara, MT, 3.73's and Hardtop. We're getting rid of our 2006 Audi A3, Auto "DSG" with Prem Pkg, and "Open Sky" Selling my '97 TJ Sport to my Mother in law...but we're Keeping the MINI COOPER!!!

The only confusion I have...is that when I'm in the Jeep I wave to Mini Coopers and When I'm in the Mini I wave to Jeeps

I'm confused. You say that you are interested in 2 cars, but have only listed one car...the Audi. Then you go on to talk about getting a JEEP. I would definately get the Jeep over 2 cars though. The 2 cars would depreciate much quicker than the Jeep, so you would be saving money by just getting the Jeep. To me it's a no-brainer...
