The V8 also has no rear deck badging and, from the rear, looks like a '91
200q
Audi rear badges remove easily--heat/dental floss, etc--no holes to fill, so
an owner wishing to be less self-conscious about their lowly 5000 could have
some fun with the unsuspecting/unknowing.  I'd never intentionally do it ;)
but I did leave the badges off a 4000 years ago after they'd been "removed"
by a vandal.  Porsche has a badge delete option and I know some 525i owners
who've removed theirs--making it harder to distinguish betwee a 525i and a
535i.
