So I was taking my sister to a few dealerships to take a look at new cars yesterday, while at the local Audi dealership in Santa Ana, CA I spotted a new 2008 S4 manual avant on the back lot.

sorry for the phone cam pics.

I know there are folks out there looking for these all the time.

I am not associated with the dealership in any way, I just thought I'd point out this rare beauty.

Tim.

ha, that first shot is actually pretty cool with the silhouette of the roof rails in the background.

She really likes the A3 with quattro then test drove an A4 quattro... a nice dolphin 08 A4 quattro with < 220 miles for $30K! Cars sales are really hurting.

LOL @ 13 MPG city. My '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser got the same. That just doesn't seem right.

True. And a heckofa lot more comfortable and quiet. And according to the EPA, better for the environment! Except, I'm pretty sure you could recycle the entire FJ60 , save for the seats and carpet. Everything else was metal!
