Audi Plans, S4 coming in 1999, S6 indeterminate

[Paul Nicholson <paul@eisusa.com>]

Here's a thread from <Auditalk@vw.com>, Audi's e-mail contact on their US
web site:


Dear Paul:

Thank you for contacting Audi of America.

Plans to offer an Audi S6 have not yet been determined.  However, we do
expect to bring the beautiful S4 to North America during 1999, but that
is all the information available at this time. Timing and details are
still being determined.

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

Sincerely,

Mike

Mike,

I know about the Tiptronic, but I really want a manual transmission. I
heard a rumor that Audi will be bringing the S6 to the US at the end of
the
year. Can you confirm this and if so, will the S6 be available with a
manual transmission?

Paul
