"Other car" totaled- which Audi should I buy now?

[qshipaz at juno.com]

Greetings Audinauts,

Regretfully, my beloved Datsun 240Z gave its life against a Ford Expedition=
 (his fault- rear-ender at about 45 mph!). Insurance silliness should begin=
 shortly. On a more pleasant note: Am thinking about what to replace it wit=
h=2E

It was my daily driver for the last three years. I have a project 200q whic=
h is slowly coming back together... however, it does seem that I'll remain =
a two-car one-driver family. Having narrowly escaped injury in the 31 year =
old Nissan product, I believe I'll put more faith in German iron nex time. =
Audi is my natural inclination @ the present time... but there are so many =
factors involved here:

Have a 200q. I love the type 44, but I think that one is likely enough. And=
 a '91 200 is kind of the best-of-breed IMHO.

Owned a CGT previously. Liked it very much... but I have BTDT, am thinking =
about trying to find another flavor of Audi.

My experience with my sister's '93 90S indicates that the later V6 cars don=
't have the character I'm looking for.

An A4 is tempting, but would require creative financing unless the settleme=
nt for the Datsun is bigger than I thought (not at all likely). Don't like =
making payments on a depreciating investment.

Have I pretty much exhausted the possibilities, except for a nice type 89 q=
uattro? That's what I'm leaning toward right now...

Actually, an ur-q is my "final frontier"... gotta have one someday. Maybe t=
hat's the answer- except it has to work on a daily basis and cover many mil=
es yearly. Maybe the 200q should get groomed for daily grind use, and the u=
r should be the Datsun successor.

Input on this subject very welcome...

Rob
