[A4] Sticker Shock!

[Rocky Mullin]

	congrats on getting hooked!  i think you hit the nail on the
head when you talk about the superior driving experience.  that and
the combo of features led me to audi and has kept me there.  i considered
other cars when i decided i needed something that could tow, but in
the end i got a mercedes sprinter for my business and will just tow
stuff with that when necessary.

	one thing though, after having nav, i'll never buy a car without
it again.  audi's version is particularly good.
