In this case, the big issue is that I've got a 2005 S4, but there were two
models available in 2005, the B6 and B7.  If it were a 2004, I'd probably
have just said 2004 S4, but I've just gotten into the habit of making it
clear that it's the B6.

Now, the real problem is in spoken conversations...

    Him: This is a B6, right?
    Me: No, it's a V8.
    Him: It's a B6.
    Me: No, it's a 4.2 liter V8.
    Him: BEE SIX.
    Me: Oh, I thought you were saying it was the V6 turbo.
