[cyuen]

thats strange, we got this model since the start of the year !

 

[Scotty]

Rich - yep. It' the normal 180 setup wbut with out quattro

Cyuen - Audi UK have only recently introduced FWD and only today tiptronic. We're aware on the continent they have both been around for some time but Audi have resisted a few times in the past.

i think its because our 225 TT cost too much 100K NZD, they needed something to fit in the 80k (S3 area).

Scotty mind i ask you a bit more about ur S4? eg performance figures?
