Re: Re: S6 or S6Plus

But, what is sickening is listening to Audi give the demographics for their
customers. I was at the press breakfast on Monday, and they told us that the
typical A8 buyer would have a salary of OVER $361,000, to which a journalist
from Canada said "Our GNP isn't event $361,000 US!"

Also, Audi projects that over 90% of S4 buyers will be male. There was a
lady there who looked a lot like Jean Lindamood (or whatever her married
name is) from Automobile magazine, and she looked pissed at that
statement....as did a few other female journalists. It's interesting to be
involved in the press side of the events now ... sorry if that sounds
snotty, but it was just very interesting to watch the press people behave,
stuff their faces and grab for all the stuff they could....
