Really wanna know my opinion? No thank you.
450 bhp very nice, but it's still an Audi, which is in fact an overpriced VW, not to mention the fact that it's still a family saloon.
How much it is ? Somewhere near the price of an M3 ? I'd rather have that. Or spend my money on 2 extra Honda's

an audi is an overpriced VW??? what are you talking about??? in fact, it's the other way around. VW is a budget audi. all the R&D came from audi, the engines were developed by audi, and audi has long been in the sport/luxury market, well before they were bought by VW. audi is one of the best cars out there, especially with the quattro. i'll take an S4 over the M3 any day. um, anyone who says no thank you to an S4 is on crack or something.

Really wanna know my opinion? I think you're one of those guys that can't afford an S4 and have to bash the car - you're still in the dream world that your civic is better than an S4. I'd take an A4 over a civic anyday.

I don't think thats the case with him being a person who can't afford something, and has to resort to being a hater.

I think he is misinformed, and doesn't realize how great of a car a S4 is and a brand name like Audi is.

Just because its 4 door, doesn't make it a "family car"

so instead of one phat car, you would have three cars that can't compare. sorry, if i had the choice between three mediocre cars or one great car, i'd go with the great car hands down.

first of all for your imformations Audi cars has won numorous times in WRC before the wrx and evo's were even born...second if u went to the dealer u will notice that an audi is a better deal than BMW..with a price tag like S4 we are talkin bout a BMW 330xi not a M3...and both of these cars are in dff. class. one is FR N/A the ofther is AWD Turbo...and wut is the most can u do with a N/A car? with a turbo car there are enless possiblities...and for ppl that think these cars are overpriced cause they coudl buy 3 cars for the price of one...its just in a diff leauge ..diff styles...not every1 lieks to play with civcs..it not a law that only civics can get hooked up...civic are for normal ppl...ppl with a littel more money might want a S4 over a civc..its just liek u pickin the civic over the mirage, the mirage is cheaper but it also looks cheaper than the civic...just my $0.02

I never once said that Audi was crap, so I don't know where you got that from. And I also didn't say my Civic is better. I said I'd rather spend my money on 2 extra Honda's for instance. And last time I looked Audi's were more expensive than VW's. And yes Audi has been in the sports market a long time and has achieved a lot and probably has the best 4X4 system long before Subaru got around. But I just don't like them. VW in general for that matter. You asked us for our opinion. I never said the S4 was bad, I just said I didn't like it and like the M3 or even a 330Ci a lot more for instance. And off-course they can't be compared. Ok, another option then, I like the S3 somewhat more then the S4, but not a lot.

As for 911's being VW beetle's on steroids, basically it's true. But what's wrong with that ? Porsche 's are excellent cars. But I like Ferarri or Aston Martin more. But once again, they can't be compared. Or can they ? Isn't this all a matter of taste ?

Rather have 1 good car than 3 mediocre cars ? Good point. But I'll know for sure that one car in my driveway won't be an Audi. Not a Civic either.

Wow! Never thought that this would generate so much conflict...
Let me stoke the fire further, then:

The king luxo-Audi:


From AudiWorld.com:

Quote
[hr]The ultimate top-of-the-range version in the A6 model line has been created by quattro GmbH and developed in conjunction with AUDI AG. The V8 biturbo! engine of the Audi RS 6 has an output of 331 kW (450 bhp) and offers the performance of a thoroughbred sports car. With its innovative Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) suspension system and 8-piston high-performance brake system, it opens up new dimensions of operating dynamics. [hr]



Edit: Oh, and b4 anyone flames me to a crisp, I meant to say this is the king luxo-Audi in the A6 model range. I am all too aware of the awesome S8, thank you very much

IAMFOB: Actually, there are two more potent Avants now...

...The RS6 Avant, with the same 450HP Biturbo V8 of the RS6 Sedan...



...And the Avantissimo concept wagon, also sharing the same engine.
