Reply to "side scoops ?"

Wow "Studillac,"- theres a name to conjure with.

Trevial Pursuit question :- Didn't one of the best seller, James Bond books by Ian Fleming;
( a total car-freak of note, who often created cars like Brooklin? Blower Bentleys etc in his books...we all no about the Astons in the later films...but in the books he had much more interesting rides. ) Seem to recall a Studillac in one with Bonds CIA buddy ( Felix Lietner ? ) driving a Stude "hot rod" with Caddy motor...
Great Stuff.

Many, many thks for all the splendid info guys. What a blast. I have printed and filled it all...for reference & prosterity.

Regarding Cd co-effc.- I believe the late 8o's Audi 4 door had a quoted .30.
Quite a break thru at that time for a sedan. Here it was called a 500SL, flared-in door handles, flush glass and what is not commanly knowen ; Audi were allready starting thier 'weight-loss' program; light weight body panels , fetherlite seats etc. It weighed in at 2800lbs dry....a big 4 door.... !
I had a '89 500SEL turbo and with only very low-power, low boost, a 3-speed slush-box, could bustle along very nicely indeed.
Yes, Audi were on thier way......and look what they have done since then....and what about the "Un-Intended Accelration" fiasco feuled by the US media, "60 Minutes" program that almost ruined Audi in N. USA.??? FascinaTING...And how and what Audi did to counter the bad publicity / crash in sales...? Very smart.
