[s-cars] S8 replacement for urS4 ? Euro specs

[matt ludwig.]

Dan,

I am interested in this as well, but do have a question/correction w/ 
regard to the S6 preference. The 95.5's have several nice features 
"most" of the 95's do not ( a whole 'nother long, long story as to when 
the changes happened), but, as i know it the 95.5's all got:

- the S6 after build date ~8/95 (or the 95".5"'s) got transmissions with
   a wider first gear (to eliminate the tooth galling problem suffered 
in some of the earlier
   years...)
- EDL introduced to the cars drive train.
- different stereo head unit
- stainless door entries
- chrome ring on shift knob
- middle sun visor
- all windows w/ express down
- chrome handbrake button
- and a lucky few got the really, really cool "avant" feature ;)

not saying we all don't have our preferences ;) , but why would you say 
the 95 has a better combination of stock goodies over the 95.5? please, 
someone out on the almighty s-list correct me if i am mistaken here.

also, if you do find relevant info about the preferred euro urS8, 
please, please post it!

sincerely,

matt ludwig.
