RE: Lighter/Faster A4 ???

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

I don't know about faster out of the box, but the 1.8 turbo should be
lighter because of the smaller 4-cyl. engine and it's infinitely more
tweakable than the current V6. Also, it's supposed to be much cheaper
(on the order of $21-23K with or without quattro depending on who you
hear it from - the price hasn't been officially set yet).

Personally, I'd wait (and I did, but I came across my 200 before that
:-).
