Default The Boston Globe has an article today about AWD. Barely even mentions Audi!

There is a huge article and pretty much every other car maker who's jumping on the AWD bandwagon is mentioned in detail. BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar.

For Audi's 20 years of AWD: "Audi has all wheel drive throughout its lineup."

HA!

Here's the link:<ul><li><a href="http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/108/nation/All_wheel_drive_is_cruising_into_automotive_mainst ream+.shtml">http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/108/nation/All_wheel_drive_is_cruising_into_automotive_mainst ream+.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Better that than referring to BMW as BMX. LMAO

<i>
Val and Alisa Iula, who live in a suburb north of Boston, opted for the 330xi wagon when they sold their Jeep Cherokee. The Cherokee 'wasn't the most comfortable ride, ' Val Iula said. The <b>BMX</b> 'gives us sportiness with the best safety overall.'

Default Only one issue with this article-BMW does not sell the 330xi wagon in the states yet

only the 325 xi wagon.

Typo?

we should all email the writer about BMX! Maybe that'll teach him to write more about Audis.

Maybe you got it reverse. C240 has a stick (6 speed) but no AWD.

Default I know, but the artcile says awd will be in the c-class, so I was wondering if stick + awd would be

available.

Default I agree...all the Boston papers are dreck

that range from total crap and political lying (Globe) to just crap and some biased reporting (Herald).
TV stations are no better. They don't get what journalistic "integrity" even means...welll..they subscribe to the "if you don't get caught by someone who can punish you, it must be ok" definition :-)
