Agreed.

I own a '00 A6Q, and sometimes wonder if people think "there goes
another newbie".... I cut my teeth on 3 other Audis from the 80's
and 90's, probably 400K miles between them. And I still appreciate
(and even occasionally miss) the classic lines of the '89 100Q I
once had. Last summer I almost bought a 4000Q, just 'cause.

But now that I'm older, can I not relax and enjoy some of the comfort
and refinement available in the new cars? :-)
