S6 would be comparable to a "Hirsch Performance" 9-5. And neither is offered in the United States at this time. S6 is supposedly coming in 03 or 04. And who knows if GM is gonna bring Hirsh performance to the US. Oh eyah... The 9-5 is rearer on the road than the A6. :-) On 5/23/02 12:15 AM, in article bG0H8.84946$GE2.877307nopsamnews.teleline.es, "Alvaro" <alvaro9000nopsama.es> wrote: > why a 9-3 instead of a 9-5.
