[urq] The revolt is on!Andrew afinn1 at gmail.comThu May 15 12:52:13 PDT 2008
I sent the following email to the deaf ears at Audi. I have owned many Audis, almost since I could drive including a 1983 Audi Coupe, a 1990 Audi Coupe Quattro, 3 audi Quattros (the original quattro rally cars '83-'85) and a 2004 A4 Avant Ultrasport. I've become more and more dismayed at the lack of your parts support for the old cars, particularly the Quattros. You feature these cars on your website and in your ads and they clearly redefined Audi through since the 1980s but almost all the mecanical and trim parts that were not shared with the 4000 series are no longer available. In fact your German car clubs were allowed to buy up the last few parts in Eurpore. No such thing for us in the US. BMW puts out ads touting how much they care for their car clubs and preservation societies. You guys just use the Quattro in ads then leave us stranded having to machine our own parts. The final straw was that 40 of us Quattro owners are gathering in Colorado to celebrate the Quattros this summer and you sicked your corporate attorneys on us because the title of the event was UrQuattro25. By the way now it's UrQ25. Very disappointing. As owners we should formally request that you stop featuring the Quattro in your ads. Andrew Finney 1985 UrQ V8.
