RE: Correct ID of 200 trubo quattro

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

In 1990, Audi switched from the 4000/5000 model designations (although
there were to 4000s by then) to the 100/200/V8 designations. The
salesman is right in saying that a 200 is always a turbo - that's what
makes it a 200. Then here are other equipment differences, but it's the
turbo that's the designating factor. I also happen to agree with the
salesman in the pet peeve - note my signature :-)

The 20v is only necessary if you leave out the model year for the 200
model. The 91s were all 20v.

Then there's the issue of quattro or not - as far as I know there were
200 non-quattros in 90, but not in 91. Somebody please correct me if I'm
wrong (as if I need to ask :-).
