     There is a web page devoted to these Coupes:
     
     http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/3229/
     
     The guys who put it together did a super job. Besides supporting a 
     mailing list devoted to the 20V models, it has a lot of good 
     information on the cars, which were imported only during '90 and '91, 
     and there are I think less than 1000 total in US.  A wonderful driving 
     machine, and you have already remarked on its unique appearance.  
     
     I'm also a relative newcomer to the list(s), now I find myself 
     spending way too much company time on the Web browsing the list 
     archives.  I spent my college years in northern Michigan watching John 
     Buffum dominate the Press On Regardless rallies, and fell in love with 
     the Quattros.  When I first saw the "new" Coupes in the early '90s, I 
     had to have one.
     
     My '91 is now at 112k miles, and starting to move into the phase of 
     life where frequent and intense maintenance and repairs become 
     necessary (tho I suspect the engine will outlive my children).  I was 
     afraid I would need to get rid of it due to lack of skills and 
     knowledge necessary to keep it going.  The lists have given me the 
     confidence that I can maintain it, and even upgrade it with 
     aftermarket equipment, of which there is quite a lot available.  It 
     has also reinforced my suspicion that these are very special cars 
     deserving of ongoing investment and TLC.
