The reserve has not been met for today's rare Audi Coupé. But Nice Price or Crack Pipe wants to know if you have reservations about its $15,000 starting point.

After the heady days of the Audi 100 (0.30 Cd) and the Vauxhall Calibra (0.26 Cd) aerodynamics seemed to go out of fashion, seemingly because people realised that if they cranked up the power they could overcome even the worst...
