No, no drugs.. Really! ;-)  In addition to the A2, yes... Hey, you can NEVER have

I like the way it drives, its extremely well balanced and 'flies' well. Youre
right, it will be a serious competitor to the new S4....
Imagine that, having AWD, power, handling, a good chassis and NOT having to deal
with audi Dealers!!!
