Aluminum A6?

[Jim Griffin <JGriff@pobox.com>]

Hmm.... could this possibly be a future A6?

  				 
	 NEUHAUSEN, Switzerland, Oct 24 (Reuter) - Volkswagen AG unit  
Audi will decide this year whether to make a second 
aluminium-body car, with production to start before the turn of 
the century, director Franz-Josef Paefgen said on Thursday. 
	 ``Production would definitely be before the year 2000, with  
deliveries possibly in 1999,'' Paefgen said during a visit to 
Swiss aluminium maker Alusuisse. 
	 The new car would be smaller than Audi's A8 model, Paefgen  
said, adding that production technology was either already 
complete or under development. 
	 No name has been decided for the new car, of which Audi  
hopes to sell at least 50,000 units annually. 
	 Paefgen said earlier that Audi's business had developed  
satisfactorily in the first nine months of the year and the 
Ingolstadt-based German car producer was aiming for a profit 
``clearly better'' than last year.
