In Reply to: What's the "A" in 850CiA ??? posted by John Fuston on February 11, 2001 at 11:23:16:

I've asked this before, a long while back and no one replied at the time.

The "A" is an easy one, but what do the "i", "Ci" and "CSi" stand for? I've always assumed that the "i" meant "injection" for fuel injection, but also thought that injection in German is einspritz, mitt der "e" (isn't that how Porsche used it?). And I always assumed that the "S" was for "Sport" in the CSi. I'm at a loss as to what the "C" means.

I await enlightenment.......... :-)
