How long do you think you will keep your S4 and what might replace it?
I know a lot of members are waiting for the RS4, but I think availability and price will keep many including myself, from getting one. I am considering a C6 Corvette coupe, but it is not an every day driver. I was wondering what others may be considering. Also what time frame will you be looking. My lease runs out 6/07.

Probably until the Fall 2007 ... perfect timing as my lease will end when the E90 M3 is arriving
Not sure if I will be able to go back to RWD after having the sure-footed feeling of AWD, but I will seriously consider the next M3 and the RS4. May opt for something slightly larger (less fun) if kids have arrived by then.
I know I mentioned that I was thinking about the new A6 4.2, but I have no need for a larger car now. That was just a passing thought.

I will be keeping my S4 for a while.....
I'm getting married in January and I'm currently looking for a house, so a new car isn't going to happen for some time.
I will probably look for a car to add to the garage when we start thinking about kids. Possibly a SUV...Q7, Touareg, something in the VAG family. The S4 and TT won't cut it.
Then again depending on whrer I live I might get a commuter car, but it will most likely be used.

I'm probably going to get rid of mine next spring...
don't know what I want yet. If possible I'd buy an '05 Carrera or a '98 Carrera 4S. Then again, I'd love another Viper but I'd have to figure out a way to keep the S4 and buy a Viper... don't know how I'd do that right now.
I change my mind on what I want every time something I like drives by me!

I will have the S for two years...
I have not really decided what will replace it though. I still have not gotten over Audi's warranty change and think that will show on my next purchase. If I can afford it I was thinking about getting a used 911tt. Its really hard to say though. If you guys and gals are like me the choice of cars will change about 5-10 times before then.

I'm loving mine. I plan on keeping it for awhile...but...
c6 Z06 really comes to mind as a replacement, realistically or not...that's the only car that gets me down from my S4TUNED high.
I would love an "rs5" or a b8 coupe RS or S version if that ever came out.
My buddy's getting a blue c6 coupe in a couple months (ordered), so I'll be able to check that out for you.

12 months. On list for RS4, thinking long and hard about a 997 Carrera.
If the RS4 checks in at much more than $70K my 14 year streak of driving nothing but Audis will be done. At that price point, I am ready to move up to Porsche. Who knows, maybe there will be a high performance coupe in the Audi lineup in a year, but I am having my doubts.
In the meantime, I still get a kick out of driving the S4 everyday I'm behind the wheel...

Prior Audis:

97 A4 1.8TQMT
94 100S-MT
90 90Q/20V-MT

Yup, I'd have a babied 996tt to consider down the line too. That's my other thought...
Equation= Babied 996tt, Avio Coachcraft in Los Angeles who does body work for Gemballa, and tune the fvcker to the max!!
