Re: AUDI Question

Price!?  

Kevin, my dear dear boy. Considering no intelligent buyer pays MSRP,
looking at the invoice will quickly show you that there is no more than
$1587 difference in price. And that is nothing for the refinement you
receive in return. Now spend $500 on both for a chip and cat-back
muffler and the little'ol A4 will spank the GLX every time.  Turbos
simply give you FAR more bank for your buck.

Oh, there's your "end".

:-)

PS: Always do two things before you open your mouth; research and check
you foot size.
