Default HardTops???

Any update on the Hardtop?. Is the Akron Shop selling an Audi-top or other? When will anyone on the East Coast (i.e. NYC - PHILI) see a hardtop?

Default I gave it up.....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/21377/hardtopa.1.jpg"></center><p>.....that anyone here is really interested in a hardtop. 3 (silver, amulett red, nimbus grey) orders so far!

we sell them for sure. just thought you guys want them. i guess i was wrong!

once more, yes, we have them and we ship them anywhere in the us/world. also, we ship in silver immidiatly, all other colors are special ordered!

yes, these hardtops oem hardtops and they include all installation hardware.

they won't last long as they limited. official price will be around $3,600.00 (incl. hardware) and the may available spring 2002!

let's face it - we are the only store who sell them in the US at this point.

Default I think they priced it out of the market. A hardtop is a 'nice to have' but not critical, and there

are downsides to using them (i.e., can't put the top down on a whim). I really expected the pricing to be more in line with other car manufacturers' hardtops.

Default DONT give it up - PLZ!

You introduced this in July. Most TTR drivers want to have the top down for the next few months. After all, it is summer and it is a convertible!

It's in my plans.

Default You got 3 orders for this high-priced option in a few days, and you give up?...

that's definitely not the American Way.
Face it, it's nice, I like it, but is too expensive, and it's not really practical.

The fact that you got a few orders that quickly should encourage you.
Sounds like your sales expectations are out-of-line.
Who did you marketing planning on this?

Wrong time to sell it. It's still summer time. Will get more orders in the winter. Be patient

Default Ok, how about "not in-line with the price in my head" or "that's more than I wanted to spend"

I like it, and would love to have one, but at that price I can't afford to. Sorry I can't give you my money, maybe another time.
