[urq] Where is Audi going?

[Ben Howell]

I would suggest that they are making a product that the customer is buying. Just like all these people bad mouthing GM for making vehicles that aren’t fuel efficient, they were only making a product that the people we demanding and buying.

With that said, I think it’s sad that they have stopped giving the US buyer the option of a clutch pedal. Just like the TDI options across the model ranges in Europe, you KNOW they are making it, but they just aren’t bringing it over.

I guess we will have to wait for the S4 to get the clutch pedal…..but then there won’t be an Avant version anymore either. *sigh*
