The 4000cs quattro Commerative Build was a 1987 (US) model year car and had a
black cloth interior with "quattro" written on it (seats and door panels),
body color mirrors and wheels, and so called "sports suspension." This not to
be mistaken with the '86 CGT special build (also "Commerative"?) which had the
red leather, etc. Hope this clears things up a bit. (You guys are really
making me miss my first quattro from ten years ago...cruel ;-)...)
