It was my understanding that for the quattro version of the 4000 here in the
USA only the "S" was available in '85, and only the "CS" for '86-'87.
Overall the equipment level was pretty much the same, but I thought that the
trip computer was optional in '85, but standard with the "CS" in '86 and
beyond.
