Volvo AWD (Was: What are my choices?)

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

It'll be slush only in the 193hp and 220+hp versions :-( AWD or not,
they're only offering a manual transmission on the 168hp base models.

I can't believe nobody has picked up on the demand for the 91 200qw and
95 S6 wagons and started bringing in high performance wagons with stick
shifts. Volvo have the prefect opportunity now that Audi doesn't have
anything in that market and they have the models in Europe.

Can't wait for the A4 1.8T Quattro Avant.
