[Postupack, Jeff]

Ah, I knew if I waited long enough Sgt Shultz would articulate my
thoughts!!

products consumer friendly - read: stupid fat Americans who Audi lured
out of their Camry's and Accords cannot / will not be capable of making
decisions, activating or deactivating systems when need or knowing why

zzzzactly.. that Paul..   So Audi _ Expands her market share, to gain
those Westchester NY , Sunset Blvd..LA  blokes while protecting her' ass
against Liability threats if said bloke stuffs it into a tree. they've
paid less attention to DRIVING in the name of society collective
obsession with bluetooth interconnectivity and GPS systems that serves
up a sultry female voice telling you where the closest Fodor's - rated
French restaurant is located. Many of the German cars, even Byte My
Weenies are sliding down this slope.   and kills off the legacy in the
process because old car guys buying 034efi hop up kits do not feed the
corporate balance sheet.


SO whattaya do? something like  Paul's Alumabitch Daily drv and a RED
930. why not?  and many others listed here tolerating a daily driver
while stoking the crap out of an old UrQ or C4 chassis Audi just for the
pure joy of the last of breed.

or Corrado's even..

 This list and others (like P car guys) represents a breed of drivers
who are connected to the car, the road , the situation.. in total as
Mark says.. Pilot in control.

but in fact we aren't the main vein of Audi's market segment, anymore. 

"Get used to it folks and it'll get worse much worse before ever hoping
to get better (won't)."

Maybe best hope lies in Porsche, maintaining the real thing.. without
the HD Radio  option.. nor Bluetooth.

Auto Electronics are highly over utilized.. The whiz circuitry is cool
and all, but it's no replacement for a DRIVER'S CAR.
