	They sound like the ones on my 200, or for that matter,
	on my '85 5KT. Don't know if they are *the* sport seats:
	last time I talked to someone who had the sport seats in
	his S4, he wasn't sure if mine were or not. I find that
	they fit me well, are firm and comfortable, and I certainly	
	wouldn't liken them to Barcaloungers (not that I remember
	sitting in one of those!).  But for the age and color, though,
	the seats in both my cars appear identical in design.

	One thing I found in the 200 (probably true of all 89+
	models) is that the center console is substantially wider,
	and it provides additional support for the right
	leg when pulling those serious g's on tight left-handers :-)
