5000 CD Quattro in Canada
All,
My father's '86 Quattro was a 5000 CD Quattro before he removed
all the badges. This is a Canadian car. I might also add that his car
(and all other Quattros I've seen in CAnada) has skinny-spoked wheels
sorta like the old Ur-Q wheels. The 6-spoke wheels that come as standard
equipment on Quattros and Turbos here in the USA are only on the FWD Turbo
5000 in Canada. The Quattros all get the multi-multi-spoked wheels. The
first time my Dad saw my Quattro, he saw the 6-spokers and thought I had a
fwd! How depressing! That was one of the biggest reasons I bought the
car - so I would NOT have to drive a fwder.
