AUDI IN THE NEWS
----------------
WORLD NEW AW 2-26-95 pg 5
Concept 1 accelerates
With Beatlemania II still in full swing, VW has pushed forward the onset
of Beetlemania II; the Concept 1 is now expected to appear in late 97 as a
98 model, Wolfsburg insiders say. The Beetle-look-alike was to arrive, VW
had announced, sometime before the end of the century. Production version of
the Concept 1 will be built at VW's plant in Puebla Mexico, with initial
volume planned for about 100k units a year; in both left- and
right-hand-drive versions.

COMPANIES *NOT* TO DO BUSINESS WITH
-----------------------------------
European Traffic aka Mid-Atlantic Automotive
Parts screw-ups, shipping screw-ups, credit-card billing before parts
actually ship, poor service, as reported on the .net
SUPERCHIPS, grossly misleading advertising claiming CPU chip upgrades
where, in fact, no CPU chip reprogramming is done in Audi CIS applications,
as discussed at great length on the .net
JTMotorsport, refuses to accept returns for incorrect shipments as
documented here on the .net
TAP, see superchips above
