[s-cars] "Silver Euro S4 91"

[Dave Forgie]

Okay, lets bring in the 01/92 to 06/92 S4s in Canada. They all have "P" VINs instead of "N" VINS.  We don't know why.  Audi Canada says there were no 1992's imported into Canada.  We know they imported 92 spec cars into Canada but we don't know why they called them "93's".  My carbon fibre 93 was built in 10/92 so it should be and is a 93 model year spec car.

I don't doubt your resources either. Also the VIN in ETKA says "M"
meaning 1991 model year. Perhaps a few squeaked by as a 1991 m.y.

Hopefully Kristst can check his VIN and see if it says "M" or "N".

As a side note, my 1990 90q20v is an early 1989 build date, has the "L"
in the VIN, therefore called a "1990" but the owners manual supplied
with the car says 1989 - weird.
