Yep, you are right about the weight and the extra cylinder etc., and I
guess that contributes to the overall feel etc. But even with the G-60
Corrado the car felt tighter and had a slightly better power-band, so
to speak.. Also, the body roll in the quattro is a bit excessive for a
sports coupe, but I am not complaining! In other words, while sitting in the
Corrado, you won't forget you are in a sports coupe, but the Coupe Quattro
you would be inclined to think you are in a luxury coupe (larger,
heavier etc.). I can't quite put it in a more technical sense -
perhaps Eliot would be able to do more justice! 

Again, overall, I am very happy with my Coupe Quattro!

Certainly!

Eeeep! I am blushing now! Is that a fact? I can't quite imagine why
they would install only one rear foglight! Although your point checks
out. When I bought the car I didn't check for the fog lights, and
later when only the driver side rear foglight came on, I assumed the
right side has conked out! I am "fogged"!
