RE: A4 1.8T

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

OK, new rumours - well, actually quoted from the Ordering Book :-)

There will be an A4 1.8T available in the States in Sept-Oct 96. It will
come with 5sp or auto, FWD or quattro in all 4 combos, although the 5sp
is a "delayed introduction" ("my" salesman thought maybe 60 days or so).

Other options available will be:

 - Bose stereo (bleah!)
 - Power roof
 - Remote locking
 - Weather package (with the ski sack included here)
 - Sports package: 16" wheels, sport front seats and sport steering
wheel

The options may be packaged together - he didn't say. There wil be no
leather available and 15" wheels will be standard.

Oh, and the 6-function computer is coming back. Yeah!

Price should be around $2,000 below the current base V6 price which will
probably go up to $27,5, putting the 1.8T base price at $25.5.

So what does that put a 1.8T with the quattro and sports package at?
$25,500 + $1,500 + what, $1,500 = $28,000 MSRP. Tasty :-)
