RE: A-4 :V-6 or 1.8 Turbo

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

See my previous mail, but yes it does.

We agreed that we really should have a wagon or hatchback and since the
Legend wasn't up for negotiation it had to be the one car we purchased.
That leaves (pretty much) a 91 200qw, an S6, the Saab 900 & 9000 and the
Volvo 850 & 960. The 9000 is too much money for not enough car and the
900 is not nearly as safe as the Volvo or 9000 and not as big inside
either. My wife completely nixed buying out of town (sight unseen by
us), so that pretty much rules out the 91 200qw and the S6 wagons are
just too expensive for now. With the arrival of the 236hp/24?ft.lbs
Volvo V70 with a 5-sp transmission, it won the match.

I'll greatly miss having a quattro, but I will get another one when the
Legend is up for replacement.
