[s-cars] Hey guys, your cars don't exist!

[Richard Hoffman]

The dealer parts guy is only as smart as the people who train them.

I have a very new version of the ETKA in front of me, and I can tell you 
that according to this program, the S4 and S6 did not exist.  When you order 
parts from ignorant dealers, the S4 is called a 100 quattro with AAN and the 
S6 is called an A6 quattro with AAN.  Best bet is to not buy from those 
dealers, or order using the part numbers.
