The Audi 80, Super 90 in the U.S.,was a nice car when Audi was just beginning to import cars to the U.S.. I remember considering a Super 90 when we bought our VW 411.

Minichamps did a nice replica of the Super 90.

I have never seen a Super 90 in the States; now an old VW squareback, yes!  Thanks for the post!

The Audi Super 90 was sold only briefly. The Audi 100 in 2 and 4 door models became best sellers and established Audi in the U.S. The VW 411/412 was sold in the U.S. from ‘71-‘74. It was larger than the Squareback. Not a great seller it was replaced by VW’s conversion to front engine front drive configurations.  I loved our 411.
