Or...I'm trying to cheer you up here...buy a little 80q or 90q and make it a rally car...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/109615/deland_dirt_shot.jpg"></center><p>My 80q rally car doubles as a commuter when the S4 is in little pieces all over the garage. Granted; it's uncomfortable, loud, no A/C or radio, and I feel like a total duffus driving to work in a rally car, but it gets me there so I can make money to fix the S4 (and it's way more reliable than my S4 too...that 10V 2.3L engine is rock solid).
Plus, as an added bonus; you'll have a new rally toy!!!
It makes a great HomeDepot car too. I can fit 26 bags of mulch in that sucker...did I mention it has an additional duty as a pickup truck!!
Huh? huh?...think about it!?! Don't get mad at your S4...get even. I just point to my rally car while looking at my S4 in disgust and say; "See that 20 year old POS right there? That's right; it will tear through mud, sand, gravel, fly off a jump, and keep on rockin'...so now whatcho got to say bizatch!?!"
At that point my S4 belches some fluid, lets out a stinky part from its tailpipe, and grabs another $1,000 from my wallet...uh, on the other hand, maybe this all isn't such a good idea after all.
But I hope my little tale made you feel better ;-)

Don't buy the MS3, buy a left over Speed 6 I just bought one and....
I couldn't be happier. It reminds me of the first time I had the S4, but it's not outdated. Everything about the car is perfect. Power 2.3 liter direct injection (274hp) is great for a stock vehicle. The interior is absolutely perfect. Everything is where it should be and in eyes view & a quick reach. If you plan on modding it, it is cheap. DP = $500 and proven 55whp on a Mustang Dyno. Intake = $100-$300, proven 20whp, exhaust = $300-$700 proven 12whp. That's with stock 16psi peak and 14 redline boost. W/ Standback software from CPE add onther 85whp.
I also drove the MS3 but not a fan of torque steer at all. The interior is identical as the MS6.
I got really lucky when I bought the MS6. Retail was $33k (Every option possible Gran Touring model, 6 speed w/ GPS & and an actually good Blose stereo. With rebates & dealer incentives I walked out the door $ $26k.
No question, best new AWD turbo car out there right now.
Just my $.02
Black Mica is the color I bought (Black with red, blue, green fleck in it). <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108305/p3110031.jpg">
Comes with RE05's. <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108305/p3110043.jpg">
Clear bra makes it looked chipped in this pic' but it's not. <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108305/p3110032.jpg">
