We're not cocks...
They're low key cars.

Don't respond, only cocks care enough to feel defensive and reply. Don't brand yourself as one of them.
You know this is often the case in non car-related situations as well
In my opinion a cock is not defined by the make of the car but by the engine.
I experienced on german highways that nearly every tailgating bastard got a
1.9 or 2.0 diesel engine under the bonnet.
VW Passats and Golf's, Audi A3 A4 A6's, Seat Ibiza's, Merc C & E Class diesels, BMW 320d sedans and so on...
And that really pisses me off, 4 cylinder sedans, powered by the fuel of satan -
within an inch of your backend, even if you are driving above the speedlimit.
In Germany BMW drivers got not the best reputation, very true, but these
diesel-powered torque-driven turbo-lagged "$%"?% are changing places with the BMW drivers.
So in a way Jezza is right, BMW drivers aren't cocks anymore - diesel drivers are!
Personally I don't like Audis, except the new TT, the old Rallye cars and the R8.
The rest of the range is boring and ugly as hell (Q7, A3 convertible!).
Because I always loved BMW, I will stick to straight-six petrol BMW's!

I think that only BMW drivers are cocks! And people who drive SUV's... they piss me off! So, if you want to be a super-cock buy a BMW X5!
I can assure you that I am not a cock!
That said, if you were to assume that I was a yuppie, you'd be about right.
you are wrong. People are driving diesels because diesels nowadays can be good fun. Being a cock has nothing to do with the fuel you use, or even the car you drive. Hell, i've seen cocks in 15 year old Corsas or brand new Merc S classes...
you are right about one thing : they don't rev very well... they don't need to
so by your logic a "tractor engine" with 150hp/300Nm of torque is fail?
:facepalm:
What do you mean they dont need to?
Well if all you want from a car is to go from A to B in a boring way, then obviously you dont need to rev the engine.
As an example, if you have a tractor with 300Nm of torque, it means very little what the maximum torque is, because the maximum torque or anything close to the maximum is available over a very small rev-range.
What could be interesting is to study torque-curves of the tractor engines with the figures you mentioned. They will show you why it sucks.
because you don't need to rev to 18,000 to make a lot of hp, diesel engines have lots of torque low down in the rev band, which makes it easy to accelerate, because you don't have to wait for the revs to build.
Modern Diesel engines (let's say the last 5 years or so) are made of win because they are powerful, fast, and don't use a lot of diesel. That's the end of it.
So, if you were branded a pedophile, you wouldn't protest?
YES they are, in my country audi-drivers are cocks(idiots), among bmw and M-B drivers (overtaking in dangerous places, speeding, etc..) and they dont need to be new cars, older models with big enough engine suits well.
