Allroad on Speedvision last night

[Chris Dyer]

I think comparisons w/X5 are good, considering competing brands, both are 
"high performance" etc.  However, it's interesting that the lower-profile 
allroad is a better off-roader than the truck-height X5! (Car & Driver's 
review of the X5 mentioned they had no faith in it's awd system, and often 
slid & got stuck in unassuming snow conditions--better to get a rwd 540i 
w/traction control & snow tires!)

I'm in the process of trying to sell my dot-commie $$$aire friend of mine to 
upgrade his audi ownership to an allroad--and sell me his a41.8q!
