Phil, I think that your definition of quattro is a little "tight" especially
considering the ready and inexpensive availabilty of this option on most
current models - actually I can't think why anyone would buy non-quattro
unless it never rains where they live - THAT rules out the UK!! 

I agree the ultimate desirable quattro to own IS the ur-Quattro. Correct my
semantics if I'm wrong but my understanding was that if we were referring
to the ur we used upper case Q but in all other instances we used lower
case. Maybe this is nit picking but I think that as dedicated quattro-listers
we should get Audi-speak correct. 

I'm relatively new to Audi so I'll happily bow to more experienced voices.
