Re: Audi of America Dream Lineup

George:

Cannot disagree with 1 word you said, but--
Chrysler has really deep pockets and can afford a few loss leaders.  BMW 
sells in excess of 100,000 units in the US every year.

Poor old Audi just got itself above 20,000 for the first time in a long 
time in '96 based mainly no the strength of the A4.  Also remember that 
the government requires lots o' tests for just about every 
engine/body/tranny configuration.

At least on this list, Audi dealers do not generally get very favorable 
reviews.  How would you like to drop $38 to $60k for  fun-to-drive and 
image enhancing cars only to turn them over to semi-competent dealers?

I love your list.  It is a truly great lineup; I'll take 4 of them.  But 
I'm really not confident that the wurstmachers in Germany are going to 
let me live long enough to see anything approaching that lineup in the 
states.
