Whee! Here we go. As always, YMMV depending on what the factory slapped 
together that day. My 91-200-q has rings and "quattro" badges, front and rear 
(rear quattro is pretty small, see pictures), w/defroster writing. Other people 
report just rings in back. Then I saw a nice burgundy one in West Yellowstone 
earlier this winter (Montana plates "BUY ART") with old-style "Audi 200" on one 
side of the trunklid and "quattro" on the other (just like the one in the James 
Bond movie, wait that's a different thread). Flared fenders, side blinkers, and 
he had the armrest-phone too, musta been a 91. Spotted a black 91 in Driggs as 
I was going skiing one day, Wyoming plates but that's all I had time to scope 
on the way by. The V8 in town probably has rings fore and aft, quattro only in 
grille (maybe window, it was dark). The S4 I saw yesterday with local plates 
had, I think, just the rings and sport badges fore and aft, again, no window 
checking.

Do S4s have quattro in the window?
