A blessing in a way, for those of us with the VW "karma", or just 
smart enough not to believe 60 minutes...
I was seriously tempted last fall by an Audi 90 Quattro fully loaded, 
1991 model, 80k, for only $12k on a dealer lot. Hard to believe, 
since it was around $45k only 4 years earlier. I test drove it in the 
rain (hard to find around here... ;)), *amazing traction. Regardless of original 
price, it's a lot of car for $12k. But the Westy's more fun... ;)
