More Audi's on TV

[Jouko Haapanen]

We had a couple of K70's when they were first intoduced.  I was about 6 or 7
years old  at the time, and it was a huge thing for me, going from a 411 to
a K70 was like night and day.  The K70 had tons of room, good visibility and
some neat technical innovations.  The car was not very successful, and is a
rarity on the roads in Europe nowadays...

This car was supposed to be the new NSU, as we know, and in some ways it
makes it very much the first Volkswagen with some Audi roots.  There is a
decent webpage someone has put together with some K70 info at:

The Typ 43 which was introduced in Europe in the fall of 1976 was the
logical follower to the K70, and had more in common with it than the
1968-1976 Audi 100.

It must, and if you're one, I must bee too, since apparently nobody else had
any comments when I sent something to the list a few days ago about the NSU
RO80 and the VW K70, which of course was developed by NSU before VAG took
over the company. The K70 of course was VAG's first water-cooled car AFAIK.
