Michael,

The salesman isn't responsible for my misquote.

What I _intended_ to say was that there was no diff. lock switch on the
center console (I said "center diff." by mistake). The point of my story
was to describe a 95.5 S6 with Quattro IV EDL. Is that a well-known variant
(of that model) or not?
