Merrill-Lynch/Smart Money A4 Comments

["David M. Robbins" <drobbins@xedia.com>]

See the below URL for a brief review on the $25,000 - 35,000 segment.  The
A4 comes in a close second to the ES300, which won based on cost of
ownership.  Although it lacks specifics, I'm guessing that the difference
in resale value between the Audi and Lexus are what knocked the A4 down -
good news for those of you who buy used, bad news for those of us who buy
new ;-o.
