Splitin hairs there Nigel, the showroom's all over the planet (which all have the 4 rings logo above the door) are called Audi, not Auto Union, i get your point right enough, but do you say "nice audi" or "Nice auto union car" when you see one that takes your fancy

Auto Union, as my mate has a DKW, which is the only reason I know !

If VW own both AU and Audi and VW want the rings to be Audi's logo then I guess Audi has a logo!

 

The point is, the badge does not mean Audi, it means auto union.

On that quiz you lose points for getting the answer correct !

Well I'm afraid to say that the quiz is wrong.

It says that number 72 is Audi, when in fact its Auto Union !

Audi do not have a badge of their own that I've ever seen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Union

And here you have a load of DKW cars sporting what is often thought of the Audi badge :

Oh its good to be a smart arse
