[s-cars] (NurAC) Anyone have experiences w/Cabriolet's? (1997)

[Dan B]

Except it isn't quattro. I dont even think the new one
will have it either, don't these marketing guys understand
that we want all wheel drive in a convertible, never mind
the fact that people usually drive drop-tops on sunny days...

Plus I'm pretty sure all the north american ones were all automatic,
so you will need a six-speed to go with that engine swap.

Cheers,

DB
