I always find it confusingly helpful to think of the 4k and cgt as 80s
and 90s, which is what they are, really.

2wd 80's have 4 cyl engines, 80Q's 5's
all 90's have 5 cylinders, fwd or Q, and coupes are 90's.

would love to see/drive a 1.8 16v turbo coupe, if anyone ever built one!

just to further murky the already muddy slurry...

oh, and another random thought - there may come a day when there are
more Audis on the road with the "wrong" 5 cylinder engine in the them
than the "right" one.  Then it will be even more confusing... but not as
bad as all those old dorF trucks and cars with yvehC V8's in them.
