        I agree, i also think it would confuse buyers and hurt sales.

        If that is so, why the high sales of  arucA Integras.   I have
driven Integras and I'm not impressed.   They are neither great performers
or luxerious.   My '81 5ks beat my buddy's '93 integra in all aspects!  I am
surprised that with the new models they are putting out, the integra hasn't
been scrapped.  That car and WMB 318ti show  that there is demand for a
low-end model with a luxury name.  As long as there are entry level business
men and legal assistants, these low-end cars with popular manufacturers will
continue to thrive.   Wouldn't want Audi to start stooping to that level
though.  That's my 2 cents worth.   later.
