Re: A4 Vs A3 GLX

["Michael & Carmen Keith" <mikeandcarmen@pdq.net>]

I haven't seen any specs, but it just seems that VW's, like my beer belly,
seem to gain size as well as weight over time.  Also, I was thinking of back
seat room & hip room rather than only front seat room.  Once again though,
this is based only on looking at the cars rather than looking at a spec
sheet.

Just my decidedly unscientific opinion.
