AofA call

[Robert Myers]

Hi Y'all,

A while back during one of the list's frequent discussions concerning 
spraying fuel lines, etc., I forwarded some of the comments from list 
members (after stripping out identifiers so that the author could remain 
incognito) to Audi.de.  I expressed concern over the potential for another 
unintended acceleration scenario.

This morning I received a call from AofA in response to this contact.  The 
call was responding to what they thought was _my_ fuel line leak 
problem.  It appears to me that what I sent was not carefully read by the 
powers-that-be.

Concerning the fuel line leaking problem it appears that AofA now realizes 
that there is a problem and that if anyone is still having dealer problems 
over the required repair that AofA will provide assistance if you call them.

At any rate, I had a nice conversation with the young lady who 
called.  During the conversation I mentioned that there was a perception 
that the US market is not getting the "nice cars, the ones with higher 
power levels and manual transmissions".  She laughed and asked about the 
S8.  I asked if it could be gotten with a manual transmission.  Her 
response was "the American market wants automatic transmissions".  I told 
her that only _some_ of the market wants automatic transmissions.

Oh well...

She also told me "There will be some VERY nice cars coming over next 
year.  I can't tell you about them at this time but keep watch over the 
Audi web site".
