[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Audi/GM?
I feel like the evil Dr. No with this topic... Finally our do-gooder underlings at Audi have raised the gauntlet. We may now use our powers as VAG supreme rulers to take over the world of AWD cars...ha-ha-heee=hagh. RE: VW AWD History repeats itself folks...VW/Audi/Porsche work to develop quattro awd. Audi releases urQ. Yeah. Audi releases more models. Yeah. VW decides to follow because surely this is the future of automobila. Golf/Rabbit (still swearing by this one...) Syncro, Quantum/Passat Syncro, Vanagon Syncro (different system), Golf Rallye. SALES STINK. Customers: why should we pay this kind of money for a VW? (Qtm Syncro MSRP '86 $18k). VW AWD goes away (in U.S.) RE: SAME PLATFORMS: This makes absolutely perfect sense. It allows VAG much greater uniformity and efficiency in manufacture. BUT, this also helps to greatly lower retooling, etc.. costs on the plant side. Why are base prices of the new Passat to rise to 21K(1.8t) & 27k(2.8)??? This ticks me off more than anything else they could do. I completely agree that VW and Audi are waaaayyy too close for the new model lines. RE: Audi Four rings? I'm beginning to think that these are just there to be added to the selling prices ;-) A4tqm for 30000? I rest my case ;-( Derek D 86 Qtm Syncro
