Audi Diesel Milestone

[David Head]

And the last one imported to the states was a type 43... That production
run ended 1983.
Imagine how well the TDI A4s and A6s would be selling this summer if Audi
would have had the forsight to import them. I would buy either one
TOMORROW if they were available here. Lessee, a TDI Jetta gets about 45-50
mpg and has better acceleration than a 1.8T, can be chipped to 20% more
power... An A4 would do at least 40+ with the additional weight.
Snarl...
