Re: 2010 S4

New S4 looks very HOT. I think this is going to be my new baby

There are tons of new A4s (B8) in my city (Europe). They are just beautiful. My friend is getting his B8 A4 2.0TDI S-Line in a week. I'm VERY jealous of him

Re: 2010 S4

Am I the only one that sees this supercharged 3.0L V6 as a step backwards? Real world driving with a forced induction 6 will not yield as great fuel efficiency as a V8 with appropriate gearing.

24mpg highway? Whoopity doo. The non-z06 corvette does 21mpg. COMBINED. Not just on the highway. On the highway it does 28. See: Fast and the Frugal article in Road and Track a couple of months ago (http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6878)

Maybe I'm just being bitter because 330 hp just doesn't cut it anymore and I'm sick of all this "Audi engineering is awesome but unfathomably cannot match Japanese engineering"....or even a gigantic pushrod v8....

Re: 2010 S4

s4 is matched against the 335 now thats why not the m3

Except for the fact that price-wise its matched against the M3.
But yes, that's the company line.

Doesnt that tell you theyre taking a step backwards? lol..

Its a nice car, but if we dont get the wagon in N/A, theres no chance id buy one..the avant is the shiz

Re: 2010 S4

yea IMO the S4 should compete with the M3

but now that the RS4 is stateside that makes sense.

Isnt an RS4 significantly more than the M3?

Really, the S5 should be direct competition for the M3

Re: 2010 S4

true.. they are all over the place with the cars now

yea RS4 is still like 100K? although 50-60US on ebay LOL

S4s right now are like 75k i think!!
new m3s are what 80ish?? i'm not 100% on that one

New M3 is cheaper than the S4 if the S4 is 75k (M3 sedan starts at 69, coupe at 71)

What are you talking about? Did you even read the article at all? The S4's fuel economy is 24.25mpg COMBINED or about a 25% savings in fuel economy over their last V8 and yes is better than the vettes V8 as well. Not bad at all considering the S4 probably has about 600-700lbs on the vette and not positive but it's probably not as good in the aerodynamics dep't either. If a car with a smaller engine using forced induction will not yield as good of fuel efficiency as a V8 than what the hell have the europeans been thinking using smaller FI powerplants with all of their cars because of their crazy gas prices. I like this new S4 I'm really interested in seeing how this car does performance wise, with all the new advancements it has such as balanced weight ratio, 40/60 front/rear torque split, more advanced quattro system, and all it's other new goods this car could prove to be quite the machine. Technology can be quite the weapon for the road/track as the GT-R has proven. (Not that this will be in the same category at all.) I do agree with Ryan though, I would have liked to see this car with twin turbos instead but whatever any means of FI is better than NA any day. Audi pricing is certainly steep in comparison to many of their counterparts, but if you want to have a truly high quality 4 season luxury sports car I guess you have to pay to play. I truly believe that their 333hp rating like the 335's hp rating will be grossly underated as well.
