Re: Audi terminology?

In the UK, the 4000 body shape is known as 80 and 90.  Up until 1984, 
 there were only Audi 80s (and of course the 100/200 known as the 5000 
 to you).  In late 1984, Audi decided that 4 cylinder models would be 
 called 80s and 5 cylinder models would be called 90s.

I have a September 1984 Audi 80 quattro, which is 5 cylinder 
 (136hp/100kW).  A month later, Audi gave this series of body shape a 
 cosmetic facelift (front grills and lights, rear light cluster, dash). 
  The equivalent of my 80 quattro was then sold as a 90 quattro, and 
 Audi introduced some (underpowered) 1.8litre 4 cylinder 112hp 80 quattros.

If anyone is interested in more info on UK 80/90/100 models, I can look 
 up the info and send it to the list.
