Audi - which 'badge' trumps which?

[monthefish]

'Quattro' -vs- 'S-Line'


Obviously, Quattro features on the R8, and it actually means something other than just a trim level.


If you get an S-Line Quattro (A3, A4) etc, which badge goes on the grille?



Not that it really matters, just a general wondering really

Surely S and RS trump Quattro?

I thought all S and RS were Quattro?

I have an S-Line Quattro. S Line on the front grille, Quattro on the boot lid.

Cheers. Which car?

Quattro is a mechanical spec, S Line is a fit out spec and neither are dependant on the other.

Yes, thanks, I knew that. Just wondered which Audi deemed to be the more important factor when selecting which badge to attach to the grille.

(Thank heavens for PH - the only place where you could ask such a question and, not just get a sensible answer, but also not be ridiculed for wondering something so geeky/nerdy)

S Line= stline

Why?

I think the S-Line versions always look better than the non S-line equivalents.

S-Line means nothing. just a load of extra tat stuck on the car.

Quattro actually means something, unless it's on something from Volkswagen at which point it should be a 4-motion badge.

Shirley?

The full model title on my V5 is 'A6 2.7 Tdi Quattro S line Automatic'. Any more title would need a bigger form or a smaller font.

The non S Line grille is different and doesn't have the place to stick a badge. The badge thing is pure snobbery and I would be happy with no badges.

Not all A6 S-Lines came with the fancy grille and 'kit.

.....erm.....thanks for that insight, but not sure where that came from.

If you re-read the above, 'Raven Flyer' said that the non S-line grille was different (correct) and that it doesn't have the place to stick a badge (incorrect - non S-line grille with 'quattro' badge pictured above)
