gearing is slightly different such that at 60 mph the CQ is turning 2850
whereas the sedan is turning 2750.   The different tire size = different
circumference could also have some bearing on that.  Zero to sixty is the same
(8.1 sec).  Clearly the CQ rolled off the assembly line with more "bells and
whistles" than the sedan, although from the Audiworld data you could comparably
equip a sedan to CQ specs (and of course, when dealing in used iron, what you
happen to find is how it happens to be equipped).  I am also concerned about
having my toolbox contents "clinking" around over every bump in the CQ - the
thin cover under the hatch isn't likely to muffle that sound as well as the
sedan layout I would expect.  I think I am persuaded that the 20v is the way to
go if possible (and reasonable), but I am still stuck between the CQ and the
sedan.

No, I am looking at the '90.
