They discontinued these and all of their other Audi bars several years ago.
When I asked them why, the man I spoke with said there hadn't been a lot of
demand for them recently and they just never made another batch.  He sent a
copy of their production drawings to me so I could have them fab'ed locally
if I wanted -- I'm still amazed by this! -- but I soon figured out that big
bars on the back of FWD cars are kind of pointless if the inside rear wheel
is already lifting off the ground under hard cornering ... and if you drive
these cars the way they're meant to be driven, this happens all the time!
