That's incorrect. What OP posted is accurate.

I am pretty sure I have seen new cars at the dealership without the 2.0 badge, I assumed it was Audi understanding that people may not want to advertise the smaller engine on this level car.

I have the 2.0 Quattro and I am not ashamed one bit. Personally, I could care less what people think about what I drive or what engine I picked. Wouldn't care if it was on there but I actually like the debated look - when I wash the car my towels and wash mitts always get threads stuck on the badges anyway. Certainly will not go out of my way to add them, I wouldn't care if I had the RS6 or A6 with a 4 cylinder. Its Audi's job to advertise, my job is to enjoy what I bought.

I dont understand why people are so obsessed with the largest engine available. I bet there are people on here who have the 3.0T who would be just fine with the 2.0T - they would never admit it though. Cant tell you how many people I see driving S4's that probably never have used above 4k RPM or 65 MPH on the highway - I see them all the time in my area - they bought a badge not an engine. I came from a B8.5 S4 so I know the 3.0T is a phenomenal engine, when I wanted something more comfortable and slightly larger, I drove all three engines available in the C7, chose the 2.0 because I thought it was just fine and I saved thousands. Most people on here will say "who buys a 50k+ car and worries about a few thousand dollars" (I have seen that on here A LOT). My response to that is, people who are smart with money, hence the reason they got to the point to where they can afford such a car.d There is a difference in my world between what you can afford, and what you need/should buy. The other day I was eating lunch outdoors when an brand new Rolls Royce went by, my friend said 'man I wish I could afford one of those', my response, 'I wish I could have the money to buy one of those.'

To each as own, there is a reason Audi offers everything from a 4 cylinder up to a bi-turbo V8. Bit of a rant, but its funny the way some people view the 2.0, and yes, Audi does not put the 2.0T badge on the back from the factory

I probably would have been fine with the 2.0T, but I wanted the full LED headlights.

I thought the newest A6 cars are only fully badged when the 3.0T is fitted. I believe that's what my salesperson told me earlier this year when we sat in the diesel.

My new 2013 came right off the dealer lot without the 2.0T badges.

Agreed

Not at all true. All 2013 and subsequent 2.0 A6's sold in the US have no 2.0 badge on the rear. I suspect if anyone doesn't want the world to know it is only a 4 cylinder it is Audi. Why else would they not put them on when they do on the cheaper A4? The dual exhausts continue the "same as all A6's" look, whereas the same 2.0 on the A4 has exhausts tips only on the driver's (left) side.
One of the reasons I did not feel too bad trading in my 2010 A6 3.0 with the supercharged badge on the front fenders on a 2013 2.0 A6 was that it has somewhat of a sleeper look with no 2.0 identifier and folks not familiar with Audi would not know it was a four banger.
Two neighbors in my apartment complex have 2014 A6 2.0's and we have discussed how happy we all are they did not come with a 2.0 badge. I like the engine and the car a lot.

ebay has the badges you are looking for, though not "OEM" so I don't know how they'll hold up over time. I'm guessing they'll to fine from past experience.
As for why the 2.0T versions don't have the badges... I would venture to guess it's due to cost savings. On a different note, the 3.0T badge is dumb IMO since it's really not a turbo. Audi should replace them with the supercharged badge to keep the badges in line.
The 2.0T is a great engine but for lead foots like myself, I need the 3.0 or bigger!

If your's has the 2.0T badge, it's easy to remove with some fishing line or tooth-floss. Then just polish off the small amount of glue-residue that's left. As suggested above, that Audi should have done, I removed the 3.0T and replaced it with the Supercharged badge.
