[s-cars] The Audi as a Fiat

[Pasqualoni, James E]

540i Touring is no more, now you can order your own neu 535xi Touring.
That would by my choice.  No more neu Audis for me.  Not sure if you
guys have been following UrQ news, but the bastiges are fire-saling all
of the remaining UrQ and SportQ parts sitting in warehouses in
Deutscheland.  Rumor has it, tooling is being destroyed as well.  Glad I
sold the UrQ when I did.  WTF?

i will only add that this 'FWD' handles and performs *almost* as good as
our all wheel drive system. honestly, the Saab engineers really do know
how to make an all weather FWD vehicle. i have used one many times in
the gnarliest of winter conditions and it was frightening how well it
performed...... still doesn't come close to quattro, but what can? ; )
