[urq] European Car

[Buchholz, Steven]

... while that is great to hear, it is unfortunate to hear that they
call it a "Coupe Quattro" ... for me this is the model that was sold in
the USA in the early '90s.  The urq is a "quattro" and it happens to be
a coupe ... 

It is also unfortunate to see the rag talk only about the US market ...
as we all know the model was sold around the world for considerably
longer than the 3+ years it was made available here ...
