I have heard it asked "what is the difference between the Sport Package and the S-Line
Package on the 2009 A4?" This is just an introduction with some side by side pictures to
get people started.

First like your webpage, been on it before good info.

But I gotta say, why do you say the S-Line is more "sports" oriented. Really from a "sport" perspective the only difference is the 19" rims, everything else is just "bling". Don't get me wrong I like all the bling with the S-Line but there is nothing there to make it faster or better handling.

Not true! The S-Line badges add 10hp per badge. I read it on AudiWorld.

Pretty obvious to me:

Sline you get a trunk
Sports you get a hatch

Just had to do it!!!

Has anyone here talked their dealer into replacing the high performance tires on the S Line wheels with all seasons? In the Northeast that would make alot of sense.

Just can't warm up to either set of rims there. One looks like a flower and the other like a hard-edge version of the 2000 B5 sport package rim.

. . .the performance bits, from what I can tell, are identical on the two versions. The looks however are bestowed upon the SLine version -- but you can't get the color choices you may want.

I have Ibis and Cardamom with the wood option -- I have the sport suspension, the 19" wheels with the MAX performance summer only tires and the best part, the sport seats.

I have a three spoke paddle shifter steering wheel, too.

I do NOT have any SLine optics however.

My dream: IBIS white, SLine in red leather and Ultra High Perofmance All Season tires on the self same 19" wheels.

Alas, it [currently] can't be had (at least in the US, anyway.)

...the Sports package IS available on the prestige - but has the 19" wheels.

The sports package for the Premium and Premium+ has the 18" wheels, the sports package for the prestige has the aforementioned 19" wheels. The S-line is only available on the prestige

FSI Power

I seem to recall that the S-Line package includes a diffuser.

Is this correct? If so, does it enhance performace by managing aero? or is it just a cosmetic enhancement?

I have to agree that for an article that supposedly describes the differences, it doesn't really do a good job of it. The pictures comparing a sedan and avant don't exactly help your case, either.
