Re: A4 Ad on the Tube!!

Hairy green toads from Mars made STEADIRIC@aol.com say:

> Just saw a cool spot for the New A4 on A&E While watching "Law and Order" 
>  Check it out!

I saw this ad, too. Audi really is trying to make themselves an image.
I assume they use the same agency for Audi and VW? The ads both have
the same modern feel to them.

I did like the disclaimer on the screen underneath the picture
of the A4 doing warp 2 down the road:

	"professional driver (cool job, huh?)"

BTW, they list the A4 as "starting at $26,500". Adding $1500 for
quattro, and a few other goodies, this should still be under $30K.
Where are people getting this "well over $30K" idea?

A friend just bought a atoyoT acileC, and paid almost $30K for it.
Most decent cars these days are well into the $20K's. Contrast that
with the A6, which is cheaper now than the 100Q it replaces was in 1989.

I think Audi has gotten much more affordable in terms of real cars.
Other cars in it's class have moved into the $40K's and $50K's.
