New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
This looks a lot like the funny stencil/graphic Futura Black, but there are also significant differences. Is there a font exactly like this or has its designer made the changes?
Thanks for the help :) Again :)).

I seem to remember seeing something like this in Dafont's techno section. Good luck finding it though.

'President Gas', by Ray Larabie, may be an 'edgy' alternate :)
The shapes are very simple and the negative space in pol is much larger than krono. Since there aren't any other words I could believe its either a modified typeface or hand drawn. I doubt a type designer would make the disparity between the outline pol and the regular krono.
mde, I got my hands on other logos of this Krono group. It seems that it really is a modified face after all, as the letters in other logos look +/- the same, but small differences (presence/absence of round corners and such) give away that they've been made by different people at various times to match the logo of the mother company more or less. So I decided to modify the funny Futura to match the letters.
As for Dan's comment on the stroking of the Pol part of the logo - this is what usually happens when you just hit "stroke" in the Illustrator without other tinkerings with the result. The person who did it probably was on a hurry or didn't give it any thought at all.. I wonder how Czechs have managed to have their beautiful Storm foundry, when Eastern Europe overall is a huge territory of typographical ignorance... (usual rant, but I'm not very educated myself, so I'm really not the one to throw the first stone)
I am "designing" a logo for a company this Krono group has acquired recently (ie. my task is to make just another one based on the sample) and have some questions about it too, but I will upload it to the Design section.
"...stroking of the Pol..."
I'm just not going to say anything...
- Lex
I found what might be the "mother" typeface for this variant in the 1972 directory of VGC Typositor headline fonts. There's a small group of condensed block letters with rounded corners which look very similar and they are simply called "Glyphic Series".
Of course this is all pre-digital and of no hope to you at the moment. Sorry. :-(
Glyphic Neue, a relatively recent reworking of the family Norbert refers to, might be useful:
Marc, thanks for spotting Glyphic Neue digital revival of Glyphic Series.
Looks like Maija won't need to make too many modifications as opposed to using Futura Black.
Thank you, Norbert, and lex - hey, English is not my first language :D, so I beg - forgive kindly my misuse of it. :)
Hopefully you still check on this thread. I've come across a monospace, condensed typeface similar to Glyphic Neue, but it looks more like the original sample. Its called Garland Monospace. Look for it at www.industrial-organic.net.
Also check out some of the other typographic treatments, and the Herb Lubalin tributes, definitely a new take on the retro type.
Thanks, meta, it looks like a close match, although fairly condensed. I will take a closer look on works of Herb Lubalin. I need time, more time! :)

Charlie Puppet strikes againSubmitted by Guest100 (not verified) on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 12:13am.
What about the citizens that he is suppose to represent, are they not more important than someone here being paid. I dont think the out-of-town hired help would have mind if White took care of town business first Charlie.... What respect does he deserve... I think the citizens that pay the taxes deserve more respect. I think White just ran likes he always does when confronted with the truth about him. We should rename him Mr. Chicken. »

Wednesday, April 11
FedEx Forum
Attendance: 15,239
Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Rudy Gay netted 32 points as the Memphis Grizzlies downed the Phoenix Suns, 104-93, at FedExForum.
Zach Randolph added 17 points and nine rebounds, while O.J. Mayo contributed 15 points and Mike Conley finished with 12 and seven assists for Memphis, which won its fourth straight game and sits in the fifth seed of the Western Conference.
"It's all about winning," said Randolph. "Whatever I can do to help the team out, that's what I'm going to do."
Marcin Gortat paced Phoenix with 19 points, Shannon Brown had 18 and Markieff Morris dropped in 17 for the Suns, who had won five of their last six.
Steve Nash had 11 points and 10 assists but turned the ball over seven times as Phoenix fell to the 10th spot in the West after Utah won on Wednesday.
Memphis held a 59-53 lead at the half and after a Marreese Speights jumper gave the Grizzlies their second double-digit advantage of the game four minutes into the third quarter, 69-58, the Suns battled back with a 9-1 push to get within 70-67.
Memphis, though, answered with an 8-2 run to regain its 11-point lead, 78-67, and held an 80-72 cushion at the end of the third.
The Suns then opened the fourth with an 11-1 push to take an 83-81 lead on Sebastian Telfair's jumper with a little less than nine minutes remaining in the game, but four straight points by Randolph put the Grizzlies back on top and they would not fall behind again.
Phoenix did manage to tie the game twice as the team's traded baskets over the next three possessions before a pair of Conley free throws sparked a 7-0 spurt by Memphis and the Suns would get no closer than five points down the stretch as the Grizzlies pulled away for the win.
"The second unit did everything they could to put us in a position to win, but the starters have to be able to complete the game," Suns head coach Alvin Gentry said.
It was a one-possession game over the first six-plus minutes of the first quarter until Conley's three-point play sparked a 10-0 run by the Grizzlies to jump out to a 23-16 lead.
Phoenix answered with a 6-3 spurt to close the gap to four, but Memphis recorded six of the last 10 points of the frame to carry a 32-26 advantage into the second quarter.
An early 10-1 run by Phoenix gave the Suns a 36-35 edge, but Randolph snapped the spurt with a layup to retake the lead and Memphis was able to maintain the advantage for the remainder of the half, taking a 59-53 edge into the break.

Soros Adds to Motorola Solutions, Reduces Citigroup, Wells Fargo
Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- George Soros, the billionaire who is returning money to outside investors to focus on his family's assets, added to shares of Motorola Solutions Inc. while cutting most of his stakes in Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. in the second quarter.
Soros Fund Management LLC bought 1.2 million shares of Motorola Solutions, bringing his holding to 5.7 million, the firm said today in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The New York-based firm sold 2.9 million shares of Citigroup and 3.4 million shares of Well Fargo, according to the filing.
New financial regulations would have forced the firm to register with the SEC by March 2012, prompting the decision to run it as a family office, Soros's sons, Jonathan and Robert, wrote last month in a letter to investors. Soros, who controls more than $24.5 billion for himself, his family and his foundations, will return about $1 billion in clients' money by year-end, two people briefed on the matter said at the time.
Motorola Solutions, the maker of bar-code scanners and walkie-talkies, split in January from Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., which today said it would be acquired by Google Inc. for $12.5 billion. Motorola Solutions shares have climbed 9.2 percent this year.
Soros sold his entire stake of 116,210 shares in Internet company Google in the quarter, the filing shows. He added 498,240 shares of Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., doubling his stake.
Soros, 81, is best known for his 1992 bet that the Bank of England would be forced to devalue the pound, a wager that resulted in a $1 billion profit for him.

MWG January 17, 2015 Meeting
This presentation describes how new research methods make historic figured silks held in museum collections available to weavers for study purposes. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, antiquities collectors acquired archaeological silk fragments attributed to Mediterranean and Near East workshops between AD 600-1200. While necessary to protect our fragile textile heritage, conservation standards have limited access to these pieces for study purposes. Now, high-resolution digital images and computer-based analysis techniques provide new information about how historic silks were constructed from a weaver's point of view with a focus on material processing, weave structure, pattern design, and end use.

Eight million viewers of the top US morning TV programme, the Today Show, will tune in live to Dublin over the St Patrick's holiday - courtesy of Tourism Ireland in New York and the St Patrick's Festival in Dublin.
The coast to coast broadcast is a huge coup for Ireland, the St Patrick's Festival and for the tourism industry here. It will highlight the culture and heritage around the island of Ireland, the range of things to see and do for an American visitor, as well as interviews with local characters and Irish celebrities.
Paul O'Toole, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said: "This live broadcast on the Today Show is a fantastic opportunity to convey our message about the wonderful tourism product around the island of Ireland to a huge audience across the US.
"The US is a key market for tourism to the island of Ireland and we have a very strong and comprehensive promotional programme under way there for 2009. It is absolutely essential that we convey the message that there has never been a better time for Americans to visit the island of Ireland."
Donal Shiels, Chief Executive of the St Patrick's Festival, said: "We are delighted that NBC's Today Show will be broadcasting from this year's St Patrick's Festival – the festival promotes the island of Ireland as a destination on an international stage and to have one of the most watched shows in the US broadcast live from the parade on March 17th is a real coup".
He continued: "This type of exposure can provide a fantastic boost to tourism and the profile of Ireland as a destination in a key target market."
The Today Show's "Where in the World is Matt Lauer" broadcast from Shannon and the West of Ireland in May 2007 to an audience of over 7 million viewers and prominent airlines logged record bookings on the day after the broadcast.

Technical Support / Re: Another my Stupid question = Sensor Sizes
« on: August 22, 2014, 07:08:13 AM »There are no stupid questionsDitto +10000000000000000000000
Most folks in general do not understand the relationship of sensor size, pixel density, and pixel size. For many, the picture they take on their phone looks great on that little 4 inch screen. Put it on an 8 by 10 print and it doesn't so much anymore.
Most folks who own good DSLRs are shooting crop sensors (APS-C). Those sensors are already 500 times bigger than an iPhone. Full frame is simply twice as big as that. Mr. Haines nailed it for you.
But again there are never stupid questions when you're trying to learn!

Red Sox acquire Marlon Byrd from Cubs for Michael Bowden, player to be named |
04.21.12 at 5:59 pm ET |
The Red Sox acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd from the Cubs in exchange for right-hander Michael Bowden and a player to be named, with Chicago taking on nearly all of Byrd's salary, according to an industry source. The move helps the Sox to address their injury-ravaged outfield.
Byrd, 34, is in the last year of a three-year, $15 million deal and is earning $6.5 million this season. He is off to a dismal 3-for-43 start this year, having managed just three singles and three walks this season en route to a .070 average, .149 OBP and .219 OPS. For his career, however, he is a .278/.337/.416/.753 hitter, and in 2011, he hit .276/.324/.395/.719 in 199 games.
The right-handed hitting Byrd is also regarded as a solid defensive center fielder. With Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford both on the disabled list, the team has been scrambling to add to its outfield depth, with manager Bobby Valentine saying that he and GM Ben Cherington have talked "often" about finding reinforcements to its depleted corps. However, given the early stage of the season, fewer teams are motivated to deal a potential everyday outfielder than might be the case later in the year.
"Ben will try to get as good a player as he can get," said Valentine. "Obviously it's difficult to get if you're looking in April, as we are."
Given that reality, while Byrd didn't represent the ideal replacement, he did loom as perhaps the best available option, with the acquisition cost more than reasonable given that the Sox will actually find themselves in a slightly better payroll situation than they did before the trade.
As for Bowden, he returns to the team for whom he rooted as a kid growing up in the Chicago suburbs. The 2005 supplemental first-round pick — at the time, the highest selection by the Sox of a high-school pitcher under former GM Theo Epstein — looked like one of the top pitching prospects in the Red Sox system for several years, but his performance plateaued in the upper levels of the minors, where he was moved from the rotation to the bullpen.
The 25-year-old, who is now out of minor league options, went 2-2 with a 5.61 ERA in 39 big league games for the Red Sox, with a 3.00 ERA and three strikouts in three innings this year. However, the Sox designated him for assignment last weekend when they needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, and so he will have an opportunity to see if he can find success while pitching in the bullpen in the National League, reuniting with a number of officials (including Epstein and former Sox director of amateur scouting Jason McLeod, who is now Cubs Assistant GM) who saw him at his best in the minors.
While the identity of the player to be named is not known, a source said that it is not left-hander Andrew Miller (currently on the DL). That being the case, the Red Sox will have to create a spot on the 40-man roster in order to add Byrd to the major league roster.
(One slightly obscure clarification: It was believed that the Sox could apply the money that the Cubs would send to them to improve their luxury tax situation, since the subsidy coming from the Cubs would exceed his average annual value. In the past, teams could end up with a lower payroll as calculated for luxury tax purposes after acquiring a player. However, according to an industry source, Major League Baseball closed that loophole in the last two years.)

Looking back on 2010: The Dodger Thoughts reader predictions thread revisited
October, 3, 2010
No one totally nailed it, but here are five March predictions for the 2010 Dodgers that came close in some ways, if not all:
plaza23 (3/29/2010 at 9:49 PM)
The Dodgers went 82-80 because their older vets were ineffective (Manny, Blake, Furcal, Kuroda, Ortiz, Padilla). Kemp, Ethier, Kershaw kept the team treading water at .500.
johnrjames25 (3/29/2010 at 2:17 PM)
I see the Dodgers going 85-77, a little worse than last year b/c of a slower start. The McCourts divorce overshadows the season and prevents a July acquisition for a final playoff push. They miss the playoffs.
Marty_Leadman (3/29/2010 at 1:56 PM)
The Dodgers go 77-85, but still finish second in 2010 as just about everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. The only player that significantly improves is Chad Billingsley who posts a 2.99 ERA despite only 9 wins.
MrCourt5782 (3/29/2010 at 9:42 AM)
The Dodgers went 85-77 in 2010 because of a lack of production anywhere in the lineup other than the 2-4 spots. Furcal did nothing from the lead-off spot, Loney wasn't productive enough to drive in the Big 3, Russ continued to struggle, and Casey Blake was nothing without his beard. Kershaw and Billingsley performed brilliantly, and DeWitt was also a bright spot, but the bullpen did not hold up as imagined, and Kuroda and Padilla under-performed. The season was a disappointment compared to the last 2, but we all knew from the beginning that no Dodger team has ever made the playoffs 3 years in a row, and the McCourt saga negatively affected the possibility of trade deadline acquisitions. The core of Ethier, Kemp, Loney, Kershaw, Billingsley, and Broxton will press on though, and 2011 will be an entirely different story with new ownership and a renewed spirit.
Disclaimer: I am not the pessimist I may seem to be. I am a die hard fan that lives and breathes the Dodgers. Unfortunately, I just have a feeling about this season, and as you can tell, it's not a good one.
foxcpa (3/29/2010 at 8:51 AM)
82-80, the bullpen failed to repeat its performance of 2009...yet we are not eliminated from the division race until the final weekend

@markcincinnati - like I mentioned I got the 13 s4, mine has the sports diff and audi select- the SD is not noticeable 90% or more of the time under normal conditions - in reading other post enthusiast love it- me I'm not totally sold that its a must have but for the extra 1k on a 55-60k car I could see wanting it- the prestige package for me is just a bunch of small extras that do nothing for performance and are just for added lux. I've only had my car for 2 weeks- will say with snow tires its a bull. Hills and turns not an issue even in 6 inches of loose snow. The car with snows is noisier then the old G was - but it does get 4-5 mpg better in my limited time in mixed driving. I drive mostly in individual mode- I set the exhaust to be dynamic (infinit standard), steering dynamic and engine in auto. I've also set the speed limit alert to 80mph as its very easy to miss given the small readout- I've also found the digital speedo to be extremely helpful- I have the V1 hard mounted near the passenger visor as well. Excited about the car and a bit worried about the German gremlins that maybe hiding.
markcincinnati Posts: 5,134
@sweendogy: I read an article about the "individual" settings that suggested the steering will perform at its best if set to Auto. I can't seem to locate the article, but I know it was in a fairly recent Car & Driver or Automobile or Road & Track, since those are the publications I subscribe to.
I don't know if I can honestly tell much of a difference, but for what it's worth, I set mine to Dynamic, Auto & Comfort (engine/transmission, steering, exhaust sound, respectively).
The primary (perhaps the ONLY) difference with the engine/transmission setting at dynamic is that the transmission will default to S mode which seems to hold in gear longer before upshift, perform obvious rev matches during downshifts and make the "fart" sound on upshifts more aggressive (hence my setting of "comfort" for the engine sound).
Now that I have passed 5,000 miles I am noticing better gas mileage, improved performance and a feeling of "less friction" overall. I had really missed the cruise control in the Audi -- when I set the CC to, say, 45MPH in the Acura TL SH-AWD and then find myself going down a rather steep hill seeing a curve at the bottom, the Acura would start freewheeling, so to speak and pick up more and more speed (based on the grade). Then, to negotiate the turn, I would have to brake -- which turned the cruise control off, of course. In the Audi, set the CC for 45MPH and go down a virtual vertical drop and the CC holds the speed at 45MPH, period. Then when reaching the base of the downhill, I can negotiate the curve without killing the cruise control.
It is a little thing, perhaps for some people. But my 2005 A6 and 2009 A4 had this feature and my 2011 Infiniti and 2012 Acura did not -- it seemed [on those Japanese premium cars] like a huge oversight.
Another thing I like about the Audi CC is if you've set it, say, at 75MPH and you come into a heavily monitored construction zone where the speed limit is reduced to 55MPH, you can toggle the CC stalk to 55 and the car brakes and resets itself at 55. With the Acura, for instance, you could only coast down or apply the brakes yourself.
I know there will be folks who are dead set against the car having this much "intelligence" or autonomy (and this ain't THAT much, folks), but it can simply be turned off if you don't want to "enjoy" a tiny bit smarter cruise control.
In any case, I keep forgetting just how much technology comes with these German cars -- and how it does its best to help you not get ticketed and remain in control. I give this feature alone an "A" for its contribution to safety.

My wife's Mazda CX-7 does that as well ... will automatically downshift the automatic transmission to a lower gear to maintain the set speed on CC when going down hills. I agree, it's a nice feature to have - especially here in Colorado, where we have a fair amount of elevation change on the roads.

My BMW does this as well, infact when the car applys the brakes the brakes lights come on. I have been traveling between Phoenix and San Diego quite a bite as my father was in the hospital, and found this feature very helpful. I wonder why Acura do not do this..

The Audi's backup camera screen shows trajectory lines that "curve" as the steering wheel is turned. The Acura? Straight lines, no curve, no match to steering wheel inputs.
Now, the Infiniti, it had front camera and rear camera and trajectory lines when the car was in reverse and drive -- of course, it also had the wonderful, fantastic, gotta have it, around-view monitor. Of course now both Audi and BMW offer this tech, but it is still not universal.
Of course, I recently read an article about how many times backup camera adoption has been pushed to a future year -- I guess we should feel good that the German and Japanese (premium) cars typically come standard with such tech and that it is pretty much "available" on the lesser cars from that mfgr.
Looks like backup cameras are "probably" going to be required as of January 2015 -- but don't hold your breath. By the time the backup camera is a requirement, the all-around or top-view systems will be the norm in the premium segment.
If you've not seen what an all-around top-view, etc, set-up can do, check out your nearest Infiniti showroom -- this is seriously cool tech that makes driving and parking in tight spaces, oh, only about a MILLION PERCENT easier and safer!
I graduated from college in 1973 (yep, I am old) and I took a course in 1971 where a new technology was introduced (in a Chrysler, no less): anti-lock brakes. 1971. Let that sink in -- the first car I was personally aware of that could actually have ABS as it came to be called was a 1985 model year BMW "7" series which, as I recall, came to the US market in calendar 1984.
What in the wide-wide world of sports took 13 years [for anti-lock brakes] to go from Chrysler (std equipment on the gas-turbine car they produced) to BMW (probably sourced from Bosch). The year following, ABS was offered on the Audi 200 (US name 5000S) quattro (and probably the FWD version too for that matter.) Yet, when was it that mere mortals could get ABS on their Blue Ovals and Bow Ties? It seems like it took decades!
Of course it took another automotive eternity to make ESP widely available, too. To a certain extent Audi took a helluva long time to bring "torque vectoring" (aka "sport differential") to market -- doing so, I believe, sometime after Acura announced their version of torque vectoring with the mouthful of a name -- SH-AWD.
I've had ABS, ESP, TPMS, sat nav, voice activation, blind spot monitoring, bi-xenon head-lights (except for the Acura), back-up or all-around view cameras and monitors and a whole host of other "ought to be standard equipment" stuff for longer than I can remember (and it is not -- yet -- due to a fading memory); this stuff is very cheap to make and probably all of this technology can fit in the space of one chip, with room to spare, these days. Why does the trickle down or even just the offering of the technology move at glacial speed for pity's sake?
Another technology that "ought to be standard" is the 7, 8 or 9 (or more) speed transmission. I believe a base 4-cylinder 2010 Audi A4 was offered with an 8-speed tiptronic transmission; and, I believe every or virtually every BMW can be had with an 8 speed unit, too. The 8-speed's reason for being is economy and performance, yes? Why didn't Chevy -- to name one -- do what these Germans did: go to ZF and buy the 8-speed units and tout their benefits in their brand new Impalas and SS's and, same question for Ford. The efficiency and performance gains alone should have made this worth doing -- instead we've got a whole bunch of new "made in the USA" cars with "old" 6-speed transmissions.
Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. . . discuss amongst yourselves.

Mark, ABS was standard on MB S class in 1985, my 86 300SDL had them standard. Now did you know the Oldsmobile was the first US manufacture to have an Airbag as an option in the 70's. Needless to say, not many where sold...
I thought Lexus was the first manufacture to come out with the 8 spd in the LS430. I do agree with you Mark that US automakers really needed to see the benefit of the 8 or 9 spd auto. I know that my BMW wouldn't be as lively if it had the old 6 spd steptronic.

Glad to see "us" scratching our heads wondering why the nearly 13 year gap between working ABS in a Chrysler (I think it was only 2-channel ABS, but hey it worked) and the German's putting it in their top of the line models. I had a 1986 Audi 5000CS quattro and it had ABS -- indeed, it had an "off on" ABS switch on the dash. The owner's manual explained when ABS worked and when it was best to turn it off.
Of course they took the switch away when they found out that sometimes people would turn ABS off at inappropriate times because they thought there was something wrong with their brakes since they "pulsed" when ABS was activated.
A case of ignorance winning out over technology.
According to the owner's manual, you should turn your ABS off when driving in deep gravel or deep not packed (fluffy) snow, since you could use a locked wheel/tire to slow you down in deep gravel since a mound of gravel would pile up under the tires rapidly shedding speed. The mound-ing effect was cancelled by the action of the ABS, making the stopping more difficult in deep snow or gravel.
In any case, my confusion and perhaps even frustration is with the slow adoption of tech that is actually very inexpensive. And American mfgrs are some of the worst offenders. Hell, they'll jump on putting power windows in an el cheapo car, but delay for decades incorporating ABS, ESP, blind spot monitoring, etc etc etc. I would assume the cost of the hardware for power windows, power sunroofs and power door locks is more than the cost of a backup camera and blind spot monitoring, for example.
I'm pretty confident that the reason for the delay has something to do with perceived demand, costs and what the mfgr must see as their customers' perception of the value of such tech.
To me, this [safety and/or performance and/or convenience] tech is almost essential any more. Even though I think factory sat nav is outrageously priced, I wouldn't leave home without it -- but c'mon to add "MMI" to an Audi is $3,500 -- and for that you get sat nav, bluetooth and voice activation of several of the car's systems -- all nicely integrated. This has to provide Audi with a super high gross margin -- and, even knowing that, the majority of cars my Audi dealer sells (which are overwhelmingly Q5s and A4s) come with MMI, "because that's what people want."
Maybe things like ABS, when they were a $500 option, just didn't seem sexy enough, no matter how little it cost. Of course, now we're moving into a whole new era of auto tech -- autonomy. . . .

I think the issue was perception of safety as a priority. At that time it was not not perceived as such and stereo or power windows sold well, whereas ABS or airbags were considered "fluff". There were many examples of drivers choosing entertainment, or convenience options over safety when it was done as an alternative of "free upgrade", or simple limit of total price. It changed today, but it is still expected to be "free". In other words ABS or stability control should be "free" (i.e. included in price that is same as last year model), but leather or premium stereo, no problem as an option.
To best see how peoples' preferences changed is to watch evolution of Toyota cars. Toyota has almost six sense, when it comes to timing standard inclusion of equipment in the model vs. market demands. When Toyota offers something standard, it means the segment requires that as such. When it is still an expensive option, it means people will either be willing to pay extra or so without it. Detroit (GM especially) had an opposite problem - wrong timing. They'd put something on when nobody saw that necessary (e.g. ABS on Cavalier), but later they'd remove it when market was just about to demand it.

Well, I'm going out on a limb here, but could it possibly have anything to do with the tendency of so many people in the U.S. (or, worse yet, their lawyers) to sue at the drop of a hat?
As soon as a "feature" is included in a car manufactured in the U.S. that is supposed to help prevent X, the next time X happens because the operator of the vehicle is a certifiable moron, there will be someone, somewhere willing to go for the deep pockets.
When did you last buy a ladder and read all the s*** (let's say stuff) on the various labels?

That's about it, it is the sue happy legal system in the Staes that tends to limit new technology for safety in cars coming as soon a s it is available ( I seem to recall it took several extra years for the Germans to bring things like ABS, Traction Control, and even airbags, after they were introduced in Europe. To be fair though the American companies have introduced a lot of technology in the lower end of the market first ( Chrysler with at least a driver side air bag in pretty much every car they sold way before anybody else put them in standard) and GM with ABS in the Cavalier as already mentioned, and I think they were one of the first with traction control as standard in some lower end cars as well ( grand ams for instance). At least there is no longer an Americans car to hat I know off that still comes with a four speed transmission ( unlike Toyota). The eight, nine, and ten speed transmissions are coming from the us manufactures, but it takes time to not only develop them, but to get suppliers to make the parts, and factories tooled to get them built, and to figure out how to make it cost effective to put them in lower end models, they aren't free after all. And why just pick on the American manufactures, where are the eight + speeds in the Japanese ( and even the German ) mainstream line up, some of them still only have 5 speeds in most of their line up. And Chrysler is the one who is offering eight and nine speed transmissions in their lower end cars first, so it is a little unfair to say that the American manufactures are putting technology in their cars, on the other hand I do agree that their high end models ( I.e. Cadillac and Lincoln at least) should have had this technology within a year or two of it appearing on the German makes, and I don't recall that happening so in that respect you are correct. +

I remember talking to BMW engineers in the mid '80s and hearing them tell about how much real-world ABS testing they performed before rolling out ABS in the U.S.- @4 years after they introduced it in Europe. In 1995 I did a bit of research and decided I wanted a BMW child car seat. BMW wouldn't sell them in the U.S. Wonder why? I had to have a seat brought in through "back channels."

"If something can go wrong, it will." "If more than one thing can go wrong, the one with the most dire consequences is the one that will occur."
And then there's that lovely extension of the Law: "If nothing can go wrong, something will go wrong anyway."
The first two are neutral concepts, the third is just too pessimistic.

Couple of observations on the S4- when in the correct set up- sport, dynamic - it's rediculously quick- in comfort from a stand still in non sport it's a regular car- throttle even when pushed does not come to life like I thought it would. The s is a fantastic cruiser but rides harsh at highway, harder then I thought but that could be due to winter snow tires- I'm sure the summers will be an uptick but prob not to Buick or Lexus levels
markcincinnati Posts: 5,134
I have the all-season tire option -- and the ride is firm, but compliant, not rough. My previous A4 had the 19" 35 series tires (and the sport suspension, too) -- you were aware of every grain of sand on the road. The 18"s are 40 series, which are somewhat better since the sidewalls aren't quite as stiff and there is a bit more cushion between you and the road, given the higher/taller aspect ratio.
The potholes here in Cincinnati have multiplied like rabbits this year -- I dread the almost unavoidable consequences of hitting one. Last time I did that it cost me one new wheel and four new tires. On an Audi, everything is breathtakingly expensive. We're talking a number beginning with a 2 -- yikes! Damn potholes.
When I cruise down the highway with these tires, there is very little road noise and, being that the tire sidewalls are only stiff, not super-stiff, the ride is actually not an issue. I do, however, have the upgraded seats, which probably account for part of the comfort, too.
You're right, when you put the car in Sport mode and use the paddle-shifter to blast up and down the highway, the thing really feels like a sports car. The paddles, in fact, in this car, provide the only "instant" shift I have ever experienced with any car (I love the S-tronic trans.)
