Badge engineering?
Saw this today and couldn't decide what the badges were, and whether real or fake?

Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later) 1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850! |

The s-line badge may be real, but not the RS one.

There is a bloke in my town that drives a MK3 Golf, fair enough, but he has Audi RS 2 badges on it, you know - the Porsche/Audi/RS2 badge. Consdering the Audi RS 2 is like a God to me, and I really don't think much of Golf's, I feel like ramming it off the road.

I once had an A4 Avant 2.0tdi S-Line but i dont recall the S-Line badge being so close to the TDi badge. Think that that may be fake too.
all this badge engineering brings to mind the phrase "all fur coat and nae knickers". (which,just for clarity is NOT intended as compliment or vote of approval! )
