Update: A4Q 1.8T Manual Tranny Order

["Kraieski, Mark" <Mark.Kraieski@transquest.com>]

My order for a '97 A4 1.8T Quattro with standard (manual) transmission,
sport package and trip computer (no sunroof) was placed on 12/3/96.
Expected delivery was early March. Just checked (again) with the dealer
and they say the latest status (2/21/97) is still "C" which indicates
pre-production. When the car enters production, the status will change
to "D" and the VIN will be shown. They say they cannot tell when the car
will actually enter production. This contrasts with others I have spoken
to on this list who have indicated their dealer told them their car is
in the March or April "Build List."

Does anyone out there understand this process? My calls to Audi of
America were not returned. Just trying to figure out how much longer my
wife and I need to share our current and only vehicle.

Mark
