No RWD Audis after all!

[Andrew Buc]

This from August 2004 _Car_ magazine:

"VW group chairman Bernd Pischetsrieder has decided a switch to rear drive
would alienate too many existing Audi customers. Instead, he's proposed a
compromise plan that will see the powertrains in Audi's front-drive and Quattro
models moved rearwards to reduce the weight distribution over the front wheels
from 65 to 55 percent."
