Well, as you mentioned, I believe both have the 30V engine. But I'm
not entirely sure....

The '99 had Tiptronic, instead of the plain 5-speed autobox.

And, as for the styling, well I happen to think that every ne
gneration of Audi styling is a major step DOWNWARD. What are they
thinking sometimes? I just bought a new 2000 A6Q sedan, despite
how ugly I think it is. Oh well....


Oh, BTW (shameless plug) if you might be looking at something a
bit older, my '95 A6Q Avant is for sale :-)
