Wow 78, that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, something like 2.5 as S!

So your take is VIN is the only guarantee. Yes.
I had hoped VIN would differentiate something as major as an S powertrain.

The other examples are just common - if not foolproof - casual identifiers, and taken all together (emblems, guages, exhaust tips, brake calipers, ...) probably fairly reliable. Enough for a first pass where an inconsistency would lead you to a VIN check. If I don't see center air in the nose for instance, I'll check VIN to make sure.
