Hairy green toads from Mars made Elliott Potter say:

Lo these many years ago, when I first started lusting after a
4000CSQ in Alpine White, I couldn't handle the $20K price tag.
So I looked at a VW Quantum Synchro instead.

What did I find?

The 4000 was a Nice Car (tm), while the Quantum was cheesy vinyl and
plastic and looked more like a Hyundai then the Audi in comparison.
And to top it off, it was only $2K less.

>>>OUCH ;-)
It do appear my Quanttro has just been compared to a Korean VW?
Of course I'd be willing to compare the interior of my Syncro with
most 4000csq owners at this point.  My electrical components ie. pw,
pd, psun have never failed (ohhh, I don't have any), my cloth seats
don't have fades or cracks in the leather (ohhh, see above()).
In fact, my wish is that VW would offer the new Passat with similar
features.  Don't need all those luxury acoutrements (sp?), just need
the AWD and a roof rack that allows sailboards, canoes, etc...

RE:  Cheesy vinyl....plastic is the way of the future my son.  Check
out the A8's dash.  Looks standard issue VW to me (sans strip of
walnut). Really kind of sad IMO.
