Ohmagawd.

It's everything you guys said and more. I went to Ira and they have a Nagaro Blue one left. Took it out. On the on ramp, it was in 4th and closing in on 70 mph. And someone posted that they had their S4 up to 130mph. I can substantiate that....almost there and the power was still coming on strong. THIS THING HAULED! (BTW, all this and we had four people in the car including the sales guy who was cool enough to let us take it up that high...for a short time.) When we got back, we find that a whole list of people want to try out the S4. The next guy out after us stalls it in the parking lot. The car rolls down the hill and nearly picks off a new 2.8. The entire parking lot erupts in laughter.

I was sitting in the sales room after...trying hard to justify this $42K thing....after all, I really need the Avant.... Then some old guy (60+) comes in and drops off his 1999 SLK (black...loaded) and picks up the keys to his new silver S4. .... Now I want this car bad...oh well. I guess I can dream for a bit. Must be nice to have money. I was told that his other car was a porsche and he needed a winter car....

someday
