325ix downfalls

[RELAYER@aol.com]

HEre's what I remember being wrong with the 325ix in comparison to a Quattro:

The all wheel drive system was like a trucks...the shaft went rear, then
split off of a transfer case to go to the front wheels (more weight and takes
up more room)

THe 325ix was actually an inch or 2 higher, than the regular 325.  It gave
the car an awkward truck like look and Im sure it hurt the handling.

And most importantly....ix is gone, Quattros are still everywhere!  I heard
recentlly that since they made the Quattro a stand alone option, 60% of all
new Audis are ordered with QUattro!

I also have a copy of that article comparing the 325ix to the 90Q, if any one
wants a copy.
