Congratulations: It's a bouncing baby CGT "Special Build!"

[Wayne Reser]

The lower numbers stand to reason.  I was being conservative with the
numbers I encountered.  Deep-down I figured that the '87 number was lower
because of the model change-over and, at least in the US, because Audi was
suffering the results of the "sudden acceleration" problem that was pinned
to the 5000.  The dealers couln't move their inventory.  I picked my Coupe
off the dealer lot in May of 1988!
