 wondering: without looking at the obvious "quattro" emblems, is there any
easy
 way to tell the difference, at a distance, between an A4Q and a non-quattro
A4?
 I know the wheelbase of the quattro is 0.4 inches shorter, but that's not
 exactly easy to spot at a distance. >>


Nomenclature delete is a no-cost factory option in Germany and not hard to
achieve on a homemade basis.

Other than the subtle "quattro" badges front and rear (presuming they are
still attached), there is no sure-fire means of external differentiation.
