There is hope, Duane, the 200 Quattros all have 5 speeds...plus if you wanna buy new you can still get an S6 wagon, only with the 5 speed. 200 non-quatros were available (only?) with automatic, I'm not usre how it worked with the 100s of that vintage.

But, since the salesman riding shotgun had a weak stomach, I couldn't really push it. I discovered his limits, cresting a blind sweeper hill at about 60+. When he saw the stop sign at the bottom, he kinda whimpered. I didn't mind the tranny too much, especially set in "sport". I assume 100/200 QW's aren't going to have the same tranny? Any comments on how good they are? -- Andrew L.
