AWD GOLF, _Autoweek_, March 1, 93

latest Golf. The Golf syncro comes with a 90HP 1.8 liter
four-cylinder and is also equipped with antilock brakes.
GOLF GETS TEE TIME

with allotments rolling east the rest of the summer.

events" in their Audi Quattros.....
PORSCHE'S NEXT 911, _Autoweek_, Feb 8, 93
993 will be unveiled at Frankfurt
Porsche's 993 is a face-lift of the 911, due later this year.
The 993's bodywork is wider and lower than the current car
and uses 928-style headlights. Power will come from a
3.6-liter flat six, making around 280 hp, up from the
present 247, coupled to a six-speed manual or Porsche's
Tiptronic. By 1995, look for a water-cooled engine in the
993's bay. (!!!, ed). The generation beyond, called 996,
promises a complete redisign of the venerable 911 platform.
That car is expected to bow in 1996.
(hard to believe, but after almost 40 years Porsche has
seen the light and is going to water-cooling on the 911! ed.)
AUDI is conducting two seperate recalls. The first involves
about 152,000 1985-91 cars to replace differential
lubricant, which may have evaporated. Audi alsi is
recalling 7000 1992 100 models to modify the brake
vacuum booster pump, which could suffer premature wear.
