Part 2:  The Commemorative Design 5000CS Sedan
============================================== 

On April 30, 1986
I received an art print of the 1986 Commemorative Design 5000CS Sedan.  I guess I was on
their mailing list, since we bought a new 1985 5000S the year before. I've got the print
framed and it hung for many years in my office, now its at home.  If I had test driven a
new Audi, I would have received 3 additional art prints of the other cars in the
Commemorative series.  Here's the schedule of the installments that make up the
brochure describing the 1986 Commemorative Design:
 
 Day 1  "A Celebration in Engineering and Innovation"
 Day 2  The Commemorative Design 5000CS Sedan         <= Today's feature!
 Day 3  The Commemorative Design 4000CS Sedan
 Day 4  The Commemorative Design 4000CS Quattro
 Day 5  The Commemorative Design Coupe GT

The Commemorative Design 5000CS Sedan
=====================================
Since its introduction, the Audi 5000 Series sedan has been hailed by
critics as a well-conceived and executed automobile, organic in design
and pleasing in both substance and form.  What then could Audi have done
to make it more desirable and worthy of inclusion in the Commemorative 
Design Series?

To begin with, fashion a rich new interior.  Add an incredible premium 
sound system.  Offer distinctive interior/exterior color combinations 
and highlights.  Then include new standard luxury and performance features.

The result?  An Audi that looks, feels and acts like no 5000 Series sedan
before it.  The 5000CS sedan's full complement of Commemorative Design
Series features include:

*Alcantara suede-like upholstery with leather bolstering in Sierra Beige,
 plus Sierra Beige Leather and Alcantara door panel inserts

*AM/FM cassette radio, electronically tuned with 10-speaker sound system

*Spoke alloy wheels with flush center caps

*Tilt/Slide power sunroof
   
Selected models will be available with one or more of the following features:
*Automatic transmission
*Power Seats
*Trip computer

The following Audi 5000S standard features are also included: 5-cylinder 
fuel-injected engine, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel
disc brakes, electronic climate control system, power windows, door locks and
