But as the story says, may not come back, which is a real shame. And kinda sucks because I was thinking about picking one up!

A few points to ponder here.

Private capitalism is dead in the US.

Gas quality sucks.

Ethanol subs are going thru the roof even though the efficiency of making it is a complete waste of energy and money.

Huge Ethanol plants are folding up shop and demands for 20% blends are hitting the streets.

All this Ethanol production is shooting corn prices up so that feed prices are also high. High feed prices make products on the store shelf go up.

Did I mention Gas sucks in the US.

Now back to Audi. Do you think a 580hp V10TT can run on 20% blends of Ethanol?

Well, do you?

Better hold on to your RS6. Its the last factory hot rod we will see. :deal:

Oh, and whats left will be killed by cap and trade in 2011.

He is just a puppet that needs to sell the public. I dont know if the US public will ever get these folks out of office. Too much power and leverage and the people dont care.
