RE: VW + Audi = !!!

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@msn.com>]

Drive the cars side by side and then ask what the difference is.  As it has 
been said many times before it is not just the pan that makes the car.  Look 
at the Saab 9000, Lancia Thema, and Alfa Romeo 140 all shared the same pan but 
hardly the same cars.

So here's my question:  When this all comes out, why buy an Audi?  For
the quattro?  The Synchro will cost the same.  For the status and
prestige of the Audi name?  Gimme a break--there isn't any!  For a solid
and well-built car that will last for many years?  VW has that pretty
well covered, too.  To show that you can afford a nicer car?  Well, too
bad, now the VW is not really that much less expensive, either.  All you
get for spending the extra $2000 or so is a few extra buttons, and a
bunch of people who say "Audi?  Never heard of that."
