FW: A4

["Haley, Doug" <HaleyD@yankelovich.com>]

I actually got a response from AofA's website!!  Of course, it looks sorta 
like a form letter and doesn't address my concerns (availability of a manual 
transmission in big Audi's).  But any response is better than the great 
pause...  And they even told me to have a *great* day!
