You guys, or sir, there are Audi's that are very similar to the equivalent
VW model.
But to say Audi's are rebadged VW's shows that you 
know very little about Audi's line up.
Do some research on what the R8 is. 
Read about it in Wiki.
It's an AWD supercar. 
It would be more fair to say some Lamborghini models are rebadged 
Audi's like the Lamborghini Gallardo.   ( Audi owns all or part of
Lamborghini ) 

But you would be wise, or look less foolish, if you preceded statements like
the one you just made with the words 'as far as I know' ...............then
that would be a true statement that no one could argue with, and they'd be
invited to inform you perhaps.
I must say ................sadly, the overall degree of general automotive
knowledge and vanagon technical sense on the gerry vanagon group is very
highschoolish, quite often.
I'm sure that's all part of the fun, but .........man .........laughing
...........
...did you ever hear this one  ?  :           " Engage brain before putting
mouth in gear." 
Might want to practice that some,
Or if you just want a half silly group, that's fine too !   lol   ;-)
