Re: Audi engine news from AutoWeek

[chan@seattleu.edu (Anthony K.B. Chan)]

Is Audi planning on bringing in the 1.8 liter 20v 4 cylinders A6 to the
US as well? They never brought the 16v 4 cylinders when the revised 100
was introduced in 91. I read about the 16v 100 was actually a fairly decent
performer in European Car.
