Huh?  There was no such thing as a "US RS2".  The RS2 was never officially
imported into the US.  Also, there was never an Avant version of the
B chassis car available in the US until the introduction of the A4 Avant
for the 1998 model year.

The RS2 *is* a type 89 car, so is the 1988-91 80, 90, US or Europe.
