I looked at the Audi when I was shopping for a car, and was *very* impressed with what I saw - nice car!!! The salesman asked if I would like to drive it, so off we went. The car was *painfully* underpowered - seemed incapable of reasonable acceleration rates. When a Cadillac Seville (with a *tiny* 3.9L V-8 and almost twice the weight) can beat an Audi 5000, you know you've got a problem. The Caddy is a slug! Needless to say, I was quite disappointed, as I would have bought the car otherwise! Jim Donnelly hp-pcd!jimd
