[A4] Celebration=Sport

[Brian White]

A good example is found here:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/car/187323278.html

2001 so it has the red flag thus has the 170hp engine.   Non-sport package though as seen by the 
15" wheels and huge fender gaps.  However, it has the 3-spoke Audi Sport steering wheel.   Not a 
Celebration package because it doesn't have the 17" RS4-type wheels.
