[Ingo Rautenberg]

Yes and no.  IIRC, my (first) early model 1990 V8 was built in May of 1989

V8s started selling here a year later than in Europe.  You could buy a
1989 model there, but not here. IIRC there was a recirculation button on
the climate control...

'1990' model year ran from 8/1/89 to 7/31/90.  Audi World data is for
calendar year sales (not model year).

I thought 1989 V8qs were only available to the rest of the world, not
US.
Am I wrong??
