RE: new vw beetle (marginal audi content)

[Joe Rae <audi-quattro@usa.net>]

[Joe Rae]  Now if we could just get Audi to listen to us. We would have 
RS2's and s4 avants and all sorts of fun stuff. Maybe even a rerelease of 
the urq???? one could only hope, and dream

A footnote for those of us who have long complained that Audi doesn't 
listen to us: VW did
not want to build the New Beetle, but the response to it on the U.S.
auto show circuit was overwhelming.  VW had to build it.  At $15,600,
the New Beetle ain't a bargain, but it's winner.  VW will sell a slew of
them.
