New A6 Avant ...

[Jon Linkov]

Actually, Scott, that¹s not true at all:

1. I never worked for ACNA...was on the BoD, contributed to the quattro
quarterly, but never took a paycheck
2. I am just a paying member of ACNA now...don¹t write for them or volunteer
3. I AM a member of the automotive media, and currently work for a magazine
with a subscriber base (print and web) of over 5 million. We take no
advertising and buy all our own products that we test.

As such, I can¹t forward Audi any comments. My job won¹t allow that.

My comments about the A6 are based on my personal experience and have
nothing to do with my job. My membership on these lists and participation on
lists/websites comes from my ownership of 2 Audis and a need to keep them
maintained. (ie, disclaimer for any AoA people lurking here, etc).
