on the B7 A4 forum, US 08 model gets the S4 exterior look. So I guess Canada doesn't get that.

Default You mean the "Let's sell out on those who spent mega bucks on an S4....

...by offering A4 buyers to get a S4-look alike car for a couple of grand, screw those S4 guys at least they get the engine, not even BMW or Benz does that with their Ms and AMGs" package?

Jet Jockey has his underpower, overweight, unbalanced pet peeve....mine is the General Motors School of Marketing upgraded "appearance" packages.

Yes, I think you're referring to the above, aka, S-Line package.

We had that in '07 as an option called S-line pkg, the same will be available for '08.

Default F me if I am wrong, but the M package is not a exact M3 replica 330, just without

the engine. The M3 still "saves" some styling cues for itself. Is the S-Line package not an exact S4 look?

AMG has also gotten better over the years....they were bad too with their rim and body kit "AMG" packages. But, i think they've turned the other way and have kept some styling cues that are only for the true AMG's.

Understand, I think the S-Line/S4 looks great. I think my B5 could have used a little more umph, but back then, the name of the game was "understated". I just think if they give the A4 owners an opportunity to look like an S4, they should give the S4 owner a little something to keep them special....a Mach 1 style shaker hood or an STI wing for starters.

Default US gets the S-line exterior package as standard now and a S-line interior option

But not here as afretes mentioned a week or two ago when I first heard about this change in the US.

Default The S4 gets the recaro seats, lower suspension, different wheels, brakes, 4 oval tailpipes and ...

under the hood: the 4.2l V8 340 HP.
