Thank you for sharing!
Most German car manufacturers design/produce/print their U.S. brochure in Germany so they can control uniform corporate branding. So alot of the car pictures may depict colors or equipment levels not imported into the states. Typically somewhere in the brochure in very small type is a disclaimer stating something to this point. | | | | | 11-05-2011, 09:25 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Lancaster, PA Posts: 295 |

If someone saved a 1998 'ti brochure, I have its German and Swedish counterparts we can compare it to.

very nice find. | the sport package in 95 didn't have all the M goodies on it, only the club sport did. there's an album in the photo gallery of the sales brochure for a clubsport though | | | | |
