S6 & A8

[William Murin <murinw@cs.uwp.edu>]

On the matter of the genetleman who posted the message about audi 
agreeing to swap his bad A6 for an S6.  If I remember his original 
posting he said that all had been allocated to 
dealers.  If correct, this means that no cars are under the control of 
Audi of North America but al belong to dealers.  Even though all of us 
can find new S6s for him to buy (there are 7 about an hour from me)that 
is a bit different from the North american office having cars at its 
disposal.  There is no incentive for me as a dealer to give AoA one of my 
extremely rare S6s that I will hopefully have a customer for in the next 
month or so--unless AoA cuts me a deal on an extra allocation of A4s--or 
dare I say--A8s.

On the issue of the A8, from today's Chicago Tribune: "Audi also will bring 
out a full-sized aluminum-body A8 sedan in the fall that will 
feature an industry first: six air bags--two for front seat occupants for 
frontal-impact protection, two for front-seat side impacts and two for 
rear seat side impacts."  Take that ovolV!!
