Re: quattro vs. Syncro??

I could be wrong, but I thought that the Quantum Syncro wagons had the same
equippment as a 4000 quattro. In high school I drove an 84 4000 quattro and had
a friend with an 87 Syncro sw. From driving his, it felt like a bigger, more
akward vehicle, but it still was nice to drive.
