	Although I know nothing about PGH. dealers, I can give you my
impressions of Audi's in general.  Last Summer, my parents bought an 
Audi 4000 (I certainly cant afford one) and it is one of the nicest cars I
have ever driven.  Since my parents tend to like nice cars, I have had a 
chance to drive a Jaguar XJ-6, Toyota Supra, and Rover TC 2000 and I think
that in terms of handling the Audi beats them all.  Unfortunately, the 4000
leaves a little to be desired in the power plant (esp. compared to the
Toyota).  You can buy the Audi 5000 (5 cylinder) if you really want a sports
car.  The Audi's stick shift is a small (short throw) stick which is really
a pleasure to drive.
	Well, I could go on and on about how much I like the car but I'll
spare you the details and just say that it is very well engineered.
Unfortunately I cant really say anything about the older Audi's (the fox
etc.) but, what I've seen of the new ones has been all favorable.

P.S.:
	In case you're interested, the Supra is a very nice car also.  It
has great acceleration but, because of its power steering, it doesn't handle
as well as other sports cars.
