We will be checking out the Washington Auto Show in Downtown D.C. at the Washington Convention Center. Parking will be arranged.
Weather should be sunny and in the upper 40's. I'll take a vote in case the majority of the group wants to deviate from the drive.

This is an excerpt from the Auto Show webiste...
New to the Audi fleet for 2003 is the open-air A4 Cabriolet. Although it's clean lines mimic those of the A4 sedan, amazingly the two cars share no body panels. They do share a 220-horsepower V6 linked to Audi's multitronic CVT transmission. Later in the model year, the A4 cabrio will be available with a 1.8 liter turbo four-cylinder powerplant. The Cabriolet's top is triple-layered and includes a heated glass rear window. In addition to having strengthened A-pillars, the A4 droptop has active rollover protection bars hidden behind the rear seat.

The RS 6 is Dr. Frankenstein's version of an A6 Quattro sedan. It is powered by a 4.2 liter, twin-turbo V8 rated at 450 horsepower. Look for it to be not sitting in dealer showrooms beginning in the summer of '03. Also debuting then will be all-new versions of the A8 and S4. As for the popular TT, some minor updates are in store, including a new 6-speed manual box for front-drive variants, 18" wheels for the 225-hp model and a slightly revised grille for all TT models.<ul><li><a href="http://www.washingtonautoshow.com/">http://www.washingtonautoshow.com/</a></li></ul>
