C'mon everybody!  .... read the description again!

Doesn't it sound like .... A BICYCLE!

VW has the Jetta TREK and BMW has that fancy folding bike.  There was 
talk [rumors] in the past about Audi putting it's name on some bicycle.
Rear wheel drive, 4" disc brakes, chain drive ... the only thing that's
got me is that the passenger thing would make one believe that it is a
tandem ...
