RE: new S4

[Marc_Nguyen@mail.amsinc.com]

> Anyone heard anything lately on the new S4?

The following are the responses I received from Audi NA and Audi AG when I
emailed them regarding the availability of the new S4, possible S4 Avant,
TTS, and if a European Delivery program would started.  Sounds like we need
to keep bombarding them with emails, letters, phone calls, etc.

FROM AUDI NA:
Thank you for contacting Audi of America.

We certainly appreciate your interest in Audi vehicles.

We plan to have the TT Coupe available in the U.S. during early 1999
with the TTS Roadster following about six months later.

We also expect to bring the beautiful S4 to North America but that is
all we can say at this time. Timing and details are still being
determined. There is a group of fans awaiting the debut. We'll make a
note to notify you of any information regarding the arrival of this
model.

Plans to offer the S4 Avant have not yet been determined.

If we can help in any other way, please write again.

Sincerely,

Mike
