RE: Car and Driver 99 Audis

Partial confirmation:

I was at the dealer today and spoke with a salesman, while getting my airbag
faults pulled. 

The A4 Avant will definitely be available as a 1.8t (and tq, of course), the
S4 is for sure, full boat 265hp, and they didn't know for sure on the S6. I
suspect we will see the S6 at the Monterey Historics, available thereabouts
for US consumption. Dunno on the rest, I didn't ask. They have a list with
deposits for the S4. A4 production is sold out for 99 already, but that may be
sales BS, seems early for that to be true.

Cabriolet is dead (J. Cleese award for stating the bleeding obvious)
Wonder if this makes anything offical?
