Default the problem is...

its at a midpoint... not old enough to be a classic, not new enough for the average person to appreciate. and too much $$$ dumped in it to sell it, and if you do... then what next??? nothing thats going to give you 400+hp for the money you get, or even if you match it with equal amounts. so? what to do? wait it out, until your car becomes the cleanest oldest rarest??? or sell now for a huge loss.....

Default most definitely, by all the reasons a car has a cult following

easily modified, beautiful w/o adding anything aesthetically, strong aftermarket community, and very low key. It will continue to appeal to the person interested in those things, most people would not dream of modifying a car and risk the voiding of a warranty but those of us who have tasted the fruit and been bitten by the modding bug know and appreciate the addiction. Just 2 days ago got a note on my car about someone interested in starting an Audi club, don't even know the person, pretty cool imo

Default old?? pffft....that makes me chuckle when i hear that...

my 88 90Q is old, months from being 20 years old and still runs better then most new cars...the age of the car is what you make of it, if you neglect it because you feel its old, then it will run like its old. I just never understood the whole philospy of buying "the new model" solely because it is new.
