My Previa is the super-charged model & goes like the dickens. I can pass
most cars in the all too infrequent passing lanes in my rural and
mountainous area. I _need_ to be able to feel like I have that option in my
next car. I won't pay hard earned money for a slug that can't get out of
it's own way on an up hill incline.

I have seen one. Can't wait to test drive one tomorrow morning [after my
son Max's Dr. appointment at UC Davis]. Think I need the room of the A6, so
have yet to commit to driving the A4. Hubby coming and he will want to rush
back to the business, I'm sure. I'd like to drive the A6, then run around
the block to drive the XC Volvo for an immediate comparison. I doubt that
will happen due to time constraints.

Debra, who is loving this list because I have yet to meet folks as obsessed
w/car's as I am. (My father, who passed this curse on to me is dead...)
