I just thought it was a little bizarre (maybe a typo?) that the A4 could haul a bigger load (1210 lbs) than almost every other car (the A6 tied), including fullsize and luxury cars, and more than maybe half the minivans and small pickups.

Nice to know you can haul 5 big *** people at 242 lbs each (or I can have 4 lardass 264 pounders and myself). Or how about myself, 10 cases of beer (180 lbs) and 4 passengers at 219 lbs each.

Just Interesting.
