Don't be upset by the interior. I sat in a B9 earlier this week, and the interior quality is fantastic. The screen looks a lot more solid and integrated than the equivalent in the Mercedes C-class. I never retract the screen in my A7 - in fact, waiting for it to come up when I start the car up is annoying.

Nice article with many more details than some of the other B9 S4 articles:
The new Audi S4 Sedan and Avant
Completely new engine & exhause manifolds integrated into the heads... hmmm.

Could it finally be the holy grail of steering wheels... "...there are also versions with a heated rim and a flattened bottom. "

..Drove a TT with this feature and it drove me nuts. The car doesnt know if you are coming to a hill or passing but it upshifts unless you are in acceleration mode. So the car upshifts when you are approaching a downhill as you lift off the gas but then you have to downshift to get engine braking so the car does not go too fast. I understand that cruise control will keep the car from going downhill too fast, but l never use cruise on twisty mountain roads...which is where we live!
And the car upshifts before you start up a steep incline only necessitating downshifting again.
Our 2014 S4 manual is great, as is our 2015 RS5 with dct...no unwanted upshifts or freewheeling in manual mode.

I have been holding off for the release of the 2017 S4 ( so I can place my order). I have seen numerous articles in magazines like Car and Driver citing the 2017 S4, and that it would be available mid summer of 2016.
However, I recently was told by my local Audi dealer that there would be no 2017 S4. He said the the car would be released in the first quarter of 2017 as a 2018 model. So, whom I to believe? Will or Will there Not be a 2017 S4?
