I'm aware of that nuance, I just refused to overlook the grammar rule requiring brand names (which are proper nouns) be capitalized in regular writing (as opposed to trademark legal writing, marketing writing, graphic writing i.e. logos/badges...) just for the sake of Audi's caprice Having said that, I will give xDrive more leniency and spell it with a lower case X because it's obviously a made up proper noun (as opposed to quattro) and then it almost already is capitalized anyway
