No it wasn’t, I was making a joke to BigDaddy about his mentioning the Audi A6.
The Audi thousand series thing was a decades old problem Audi had here in the US. They ended up renaming everything they made to something “not in the ‘thousand’ series”....marketing and memories..
I am the only one in this thread who has mentioned the A6.
I've been Audi owner since the 80s. I'm well aware of the problems with the 5000 and the renaming. I had a 1983 5000. It was a great car as is my current A6. I never experienced the accelerator problems with my 5000. I've also owned a 1994 M5. It was a good car but I'm far happier with Audi.
