Default Car magazine new S4 spy shots

http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/Audi-S4-saloon-and-Avant-2008-the-spy-photos/

Some interesting speculation from one of the world's greatest car mags. They anticipate 350 bhp and near or just over 400 lb/ft of torque. I pray for lighter weight so this car will smoke a 335i.

I love Car. Incidentally, I will never trust C&D again after they rated an M3 ahead of Godzilla and a 911 turbo. They must be on drugs.

Default Yea C&D lost my respect when they have the m3 ahead of a 911TT. Ive driven both cars

and in NO WAY POSSIBLE does that heavy *** M3 even come close to the performance and design of the 911TT. They aren't even in the same league, and shouldn't even be compared in the first place?! Seems like BMW is paying people under the table. C&D totally lost all credibility they ever had.

Default After recently driving a 997 TT, I can understand rating an e92 M3 higher. Way too much turbo lag.

M3 drives like a dream. I couldn't stand the lag in the 997 TT and I wasn't overwhelmed by the handling (granted, it was a vert). The e92 M3 feels better to me. The M3 also sounds much better.

There's quite a bit of engineering in the M3. I don't read C&D, but I'm glad that they didn't let the MSRP discrepancy between the two cars cloud their judgment.

GT3, however, is a whole different story.

I thought they were only about 200 lbs difference in weight?

Sweet. Now will they bring the wagon here, or will my choice be made for me.

Default I predict they will import the S4 Avant for MY11

That's just my opinion, with SUV sales in free-fall wagons will make a comeback and AoA will see the error of their ways and import more Avants.

Tried to get my son's new wheelchair in my A4 sedan loaner this morning, stupid *&$^#!@ thing wouldn't fit! Gimme back my Avant!

I hope so. If there is no Avant Audi will lose a customer here

Default The avant looks great. I can't wait to see what the actual mpg numbers are...

See how great the benefit is of abandoning the V8..... I've never seen a supercharged engine that's good on gas.

Default I love the avant, but would buy the sedan if there was no choice. AWD is my #1 issue.

I would have bought the Avant this time around if there was one available.
