When the RS4 comes, you'll be screaming RS4 RS4 RS4 RS4.... Now, if you are a Beemer fan, you can scream 335i...

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread My comment on the car: It's what I expected. A very good looking car, with amazing numbers of the engine, and especially the consumption. I take my Hat of for Audi for sure... 0.5s faster than the previous S4. That's a lot. The car doesn't make me go WOW...but it makes my respect for Audi very big, and I'm saving the WOOOHOOOO for the RS4  I bet the S4 won't disapoint anyone. And that V6 BiTurbo makes me go back to the trendsetter....

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread It has the looks and with the torque vectoring thingy the car has the potential to match the 335 in handling. All it now needs is a competitive price tag and not the $10K premium S5 charges over the 335 coupe. |

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread It's pretty much what I expected. It's definitely not an M3, C63 competitor as suggested in the US press release. Is that Audi trying to hint at the pricing level? M3 > S4 > 335i. The real question that will determine it's success is where the price level will be. Imo, close to the M3 = failure, close to the 335i = success. |

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread Audi have seen the success of the 335i which is why they have repositioned the S4 to a lower position in the segment putting it head to head with the 335i. |

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread Price is everything here. This car might compete with both the 335i and the M3, depending on price. Seriously understated car this, by the way.

| Re: Offical Audi S4 (B8) Thread Just seen the CO2 emissions numbers on the Audi.de website . 225g/km(Audi Deutschland > Modelle > A4, S4 > S4 Limousine) . That's the most impressive thing about this car to me. 333ps and 4WD and still almost the same as the 335i (221g/km). That keeps it out of the two top tax bands in the UK and will help it's resale value-> Road tax: The future - What Car?. Very Impressive! |
