choices - coupeQ vs 200qw

[Dan Simoes <dans@ans.net>]

I'm debating the purchase of a new(er) Audi, once again.
Choices are a Coupe Q, or a 90 200qw, of which I have found
two identical ones.

CoupeQ: looks great, handles great, underpowered, tight inside.
Wagon: big, cumbersome, but fast in a straight line and can be 
       made faster.

The two wagons I've found are 120k for around $7k, and one with
77k for around $12k.  The latter is local, the former is in Rochester.
Both are plum/burgundy with tan leather and sport seats.
I'll let you know where either/both are if you are looking for one,
as I am leaning more towards a coupe.

I don't really need a wagon, and I should probably get the coupe
while I'm still young and it doesn't look like I'm having a midlife
crisis (but I can always get a Vette for that!), but I like the
idea of a wagon, both from a space perpective (take 5 adults and
all their crap for a weekend ski trip) and from the stealth aspect
(nah, that wine-color wagon couldn't possibly have been doing 120.
I've got to recalibrate this $%#@# radar gun...)

Of course, the easy way out is to keep the 85 4kq for myself
and get my wife the Golf she wants (don't ask why, I can't
figure it out either, but she likes the looks despite the
lack of quattro - her perfect car would be a Golf Syncro).
I think it's my turn to upgrade though :)

Thoughts?
