It is amazing how many more Audis I see in Atlanta now vs. years past. 
Obviously, the A4 is the most prevalent, but I also see a lot of A6
sedans and wagons and the occasional A8.  A number of these are
quattros, but I'd say the majority are FWD.

More interesting, however, is the number of older ('85-'92) Audis on the
road.  I never used to 80/90s around Atlanta.  Now I see at least one a
day it seems.  I guess people are finally realizing what a great value
used Audis represent.  Is this good or bad?

I attribute much of the recent success to positive auto rag reviews.  It
seems the typical American consumer is incapable of making his/her own
decision re: which car to buy and must rely on a magazine to make the
choice for them.  I will never s*bscribe to this form of "follow the
leader" mentality, but I will always drive a quattro.
