Yes, I've read the same thing (and posted to the list about it). The latest
is that this car is seen as environmentally UNfriendly, because the higher
weight gives it a higher fuel consumption, and remote emissions for the
electric operation must be taken into account.

A quick sum made the Dutch AutoWeek conclude that the power consumption,
when recharged in cheap rate hours, works out at EXACTLY the same cost as
running regular unleaded would. Hmmm....

They concluded that this was a nice idea, and probably good for Audi's
image, but quite useless as a vehicle.

PS I may live thousands of miles away, but I still enjoyed reading the Kanc
run reports. The camaraderie could be felt halfway across the globe. Keep
the good contributions coming all of you!

             they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.
