I talked to an iduA tech yesterday and he confirmed that it really means 
..um.. Commemorative Series and the S was Series.
     
Boy, do I feel like a dunce <:-I
     
As far as the CS Commemorative series, Ya got me. The difference was 
trim being seat inserts and the 10 or 12 speaker (however you interpret 
it) sound system.
     
     I suppose it could mean Slow and Chicken Sh**, but I don't think so...

     Saw an interesting sticker on a 5K CS in Madisosn, WI the other day:
     
     Driver Has No Money
     
     (He drives an Audi)
     
     It is a take off on a license plate frame I've also seen:
     
     Driver Has No Money
     
     (He's married)
     
     
     My mechanic friend suggests that 5000 CS Turbo really stands for
     
     $5,000.000 Cash Spent To Undertake Repair (of) Broken Options
     
     All kidding aside, since I bought my 5K CST in May, I've spent about 
     $1,700.00 in parts, title, taxes, S&H, and maintenance items such as 
     fluids and filters. Sice I paid $2,200.00 for the car, (104K miles)
     I think I have the best $4,000.00 car I'll ever own.
     
     I've accepted a new job, so will soon have to unsubscribe from this 
     group for a while. Thanks to all who helped me get acquainted with 
     Audi cars with advice and information, particularly Bob for making 
     this group happen, and Bill Murin for his help and encouragement.
     
     Best regards
