The Turbo S is the sport beetle -- get a sport A4 (S4) if you want a 6-speed so badly. I will.

If what he really wants is a 6-speed, I'm not so sure that the $20K difference is worth it.

Default the sport beetle only costs 23k loaded, if they put 4motion on it, that's my next car. judging from-

how the new a4's look, my second car won't be s4 when my lease runs out in 2004, the new body style is too damn fugly, looks like a deformed box with douns syndrome.

It looks like an munchkin A6. But they haven't changed the S4 body yet, so buy buy buy!

that might be it, in 2004 to buy a used 2001 s4 just because of the old body style

Default if jetta had a 4motion i would have bought it...

audi is gonna screw themselves over by giving all these engines to the vw line along with 4motion. the only reason left to buy an audi would be snob appeal, which is really dumb.

Default sorry but I don't care if VW put out a ferrari that looked like a beetle

I can't sacrifice my ego by driving around in a "cute car".
