To compete with Subaru Legacy Outbacks. <p>Their new "Outback like" A6 will do even better.

Okay:forget the functional advantage.How many auto.options return almost 200% of your original investment at trade/sell time?nt

Brent:I'll bet you have one or more friends who weigh 230lbs.,right?Do you throw them out before you hit the stoplight drags?You've obviously never driven a Q in the rain?nt

The Unfair Advantage...

Somebody I know did that with a Quattro................nt

That is a B.S. sales pitch.................<p>Who needs Wall St. if you could flip Quattro cars instead!<p>either the car is good or its not...but don't try that one on me!

Audi should sh^t or get off the pot regarding Quattro as option.............<p>They would have more credibilty as a brand with it if they sold them<br>like Subarus.

Rephrased (w/ apologies to JIM H.): FWD A4's will depreciate MUCH faster than Quattros

In a non sport 2.8qm? Admittedly, it was when it was still an H stock car, but I was faster on street tires (D40M2's) than a lot of the competition on autocross rubber. You all seem to equate body roll with poor handling and it is really not the case. The car does roll, but it is predictable and progressive. Besides, you are comparing a 3200lb family sedan with some kid's 2800lb pocket rocket. I have a car that I can drive for 18 straight hours (with gas stops) in comfort without any hearing loss or DVT's.Then I can also place well in an autocross. Can you do that in an escort?<p>Chris

I've been driving FWD cars for 15 years and I've always hated the torque steer while turning and accellerating. You're asking too much of a car when you add power to the turning wheels and you end up ighting the car instead of enjoying the performance. Quattro eliminates this problem by providing excellent grip and performance driving satisfaction. If it weren't for quattro, I'd be driving a 3 series right now.<p>Mick<br>98 2.8qm
