Audi / Mazda / BMW

	Yeah, what Graydon, STEADIRIC, PDQSHIP et al sez:

	Having driven everthing [except a Sport Q] talked about, just 
gotta agree that it is apples and oranges to compare any audi you could 
buy new in the US in the last decade to the RX7tt.  Now, maybe it is just 
me, but I found it to be one damned uncomfortable car, with a price to 
match.  But, it flies.  M3 same deal.  More comfort, but what a sweet 
package.  BTW, all the bragging done by Volve on the 850t?  Well, just so 
happened that I had a chance to drive the RX7tt on about 15 miles of hard 
twisties w/ a friend driving his 850t hard.  2 miles in, couldn't even 
see headlights.  RX7tt is fast--and very tweekable.  

	I love Audi's, but....  What Audi needs? to do, IMHO, is send 
over a "sport" type package in the A4tq.  Horse it up a bit [min. 300hp], 
beefy susp., cut some weight, etc.  Then, *maybe* the German metal would 
not be stomped off the line by the rustangs, talons, caddy's, lincolns, etc.
