Interesting point, Jim. Is lowercase specified (bt Audi) as "correct" for
quattro spelling? I note that Audi seems consistently to use a lowercase
"quattro" on the  vehicle (grill badge, rear window, etc.). Yet Audi also
have been known to use uppercase "Q" in their advertising copy. Was the
latter simply a case of bad proofreading? Or corporate schizophrenia?
