1986 urQs Imported to the USA

[urq]

As I recall Audi did report a single sale of a 1986 urQ in the US ... not an
'85 or other earlier model ... a "G" code in the VIN.  There was apparently
also one sold into Canada that year.  There was a report that an '86 urQ was
involved in a serious T-bone accident in western Canada ... I don't know if
that car was restored, but I know that is what was planned.  I have never
heard of any other '86 model urQ in North America ... not even ones imported
from elsewhere.  

Eric Renneisen owns an '86 urQ ... that is the only car I know of in North
America today.  

I believe Jeff G (Audidudi) requested a letter from Audi with the import
numbers per model year.  I've seen a scan of that letter, which confirms
that there was a single urQ imported into the USA for the 1986 model year.

I think maybe that it is not a 1986 urQ. If you notice the note and the 
title you'll find that this page is SALES by CALENDAR year, not production 
by model year. All that #1 means is that some dealer somewhere sold an urQ 
in 1986. It could have even in thoery been a 1983 model car that some dealer

was using as a PR tool sitting in the showroom and they didn't put a price 
on it until the model was canceled (or any of a billion other possible 
situations).
