Hr. Piech's quotes ...



My personal favorite quote was in response to the question as to why the
ur-quattro had such a large fuel capacity ... he replied that he wanted
to make sure that when the world ran out of gasoline that the last cars
left on the road would be Audis ...

I'm sure anyone with a QTC will be quick to note that with the fuel
economy they get, that won't be too likely, but I really do like the
range I can get in freeway driving ... I've done well over 500 miles on
a single tank.
