Hey, thanks for the information you've added to the Audi Quattro page.

I didn't want to continue reverting the article back and forth, let's see if we can come to an understanding on this.

You are correct, in that Audi has retroactively changed all uses of "quattro" to the lowercase form, including for the "UrQuattro," as can be seen if one goes to the Audi website and checks their history pages for the S1, etc. However, this was not the case when the vehicle was introduced and sold. At the time, Audi made the decision to use a capital Q for the model, and lowercase for the driveline system. Take a look here:

So, I certainly see your point, but I'm not sure we should deviate from all the vehicles original documentation, all period literature, most non-corporate usage since models retirement for the article. We're in no way bound by Audi's current marketing or branding schema, and capital Q Quattro is "the" usage for the automotive history and enthusiast communities. I certainly don't see any problem with noting Audi's about-face on the matter, I'm just not sure we have to follow it in the article.

P.S. I dig your username.

No problem at all! You added some good info, I hadn't even realized that Audi had retrofitted their official material. I look forward to seeing further contributions from you, whether at Lancia, Audi or anywhere else :)
