Atkins for Audis?

[Richard Hoffman]

Of course, thats 2 cylinders in an aluminum block!  I would be willing to
wager that the 8cyl long block is lighter than the cast-iron 2.7tt block.

I am equally disgusted about the recent weight gain in the Audi model line.
My 100LS weighs 2100lbs and the CQ, I am shooting for 3000 even but we'll
see :-/

Audi has become a luxury car company!  I mean, they used to have a blend
between luxury and sportiness, but now I think they have thrown big hp
numbers at a luxury sedan and called it a sport sedan

Just my $.02
