Default Bad news frmo the Chicago Auto Show Audi reps...........

The Cabrio will initially NOT be available in Quattro.

$hitty. :-( I guess we'll have to cancel my mom's order - that sucks. The car is gorgeous too - they had 3 at the show, one on a turntable, and two up in the air on a display.

Other notable, desirable cars at the show included the 350Z, Mini Cooper S, and the Lotus Elise, and on an distinctly less attainable note, the Murcielago.

I don't know about the U.S. but here in the U.K. the Cabrio is backordered till next year!

If the situation over there is the same you could either get the car and sell it on at a profit.

Or assuming the cabrio is as popular next year, you could use it for a year and then sell it without losing much. Then buy the quattro.

Default Gee, that kind of reminds me of the other Audi Cabrio...

Which no one bought because no 5 speed and no quattro.. I can see their point, who <i><b>really</b></i> wants a convertible that has fantastic all weather capabilities, sort of one or the other. Of course, there are a few people that might want to drive their convertible in the winter...
