     My info is different. The only decision left to be made
     by Audi is where to locate the plant in Brazil. The plant
     will be producing the (golf-like) A3 for export, with
     a contract (with current distributor-Senna, Ayerton's
     brother) for future sales in-country. If Audi & Senna can't
     reach an accord, Audi has already announce that it will
     sell the A3 in Brazil under the VW badge (as a Golf.)

     The contract and ground work were etched in stone weeks before
     the date of this article when the German Chancelor and his
     enterage (sp) were in Brazil.  BTW-Mercyless Benz will also
     be manufacturing cars there.
