pictures, though.  I think with the resurgence Audi is enjoying here in the
states since the release of the A4, they probably could sell them at the
right price.  Having driven an A4Q 2.8 from Seattle to LA, I have to say
that I wish I could afford to trade my '88 90Q in on one.  The A3 looks
like a fun car too.  With the right engine and right price, I might be
tempted.

By the way, has anyone had any worthwhile experience in both the 2.8 and
1.8 turbo (manuals preferably) to tell me your feelings on both?  Sorry if
this has already been talked about, I'm fairly new to this list!
