            funny topic.

            I contacted some canadian guy and he replied to me this way:

            "Slaves to Audi Sports Cars"!

            I think it is correct to write:
            Arturs has one sports car
            Arturs has two sports cars

            "cars" is the only part of the phrase that changes.



            But if we continue to talk about capitalization then we should write "Slaves to Audi Sports Cars" in place of " Slaves to Audi sports cars"....isn't it?

            any discussions on this?

              it’s – can mean two things: ‘it is’ and ‘it has’


              I spent too long at a grammar school getting this cr*p hammered into me

                I thought the question was in relation to the type of car rather than the manufacturers name as this is what the original poster was asking.

                Still, when describing the plural of the brand Audi Sport, it remains as "two Audi Sport cars". Audi Sport's cars is possessive.

                For example, "The two cars on display are Audi Sport models" and "An elegant example of design by Audi Sport's own engineers".

                I've just reread the above posts and realised I have just reiterated what has already said.

                @audi4fun. Sport is only capitalised if you are describing the brand Audi Sport in you title or sentence, which you said you are not.

                  Nuvo, I'm talking about that all words in slogan must be capitalized. See an example.

                    Funny when I went to grammar school - I was led to believe that it's meant something belong to "it"... Then again I did rather better at Maths and science than English language

                      Okay in that case, "Slaves to Audi Sports Cars" is what you want.
