Jeremy Clarkson rants after a drive in the RS4 cab. In his usual overdone style IMHO.<ul><li><a href="http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-2370264,00.html">http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-2370264,00.html</a</li></ul>

Default I don't recall Clarkson being an "S4 Basher". If anything he praises it a good amount!

One example would be the end of the Volvo S60R video.

Default ??!! I don't really find that much difference with the throttle mapping when the "S"
button is pushed, just the exhaust note. Wondering if mine is fully functioning.

I must have thin skin, I was quite irritated by his dismissive tone re. the S4.

It may not be working. The difference is completely obvious to me. It's night and day.

He said in the TopGear S4 vs. M3 video that he'd take the S4 for the daily driver...

Default He also said the new M3 has to "come with it's own moon" in order to beat this RS4
Of course that was showmanship, but he does love this car.

Default European RS4 runs the FSI in stratified mode at low power levels
I suspect that there is a significant difference in throttle mapping because of that
