so now Audi has officially down graded "S" models to garden variety BMW competitors? - bzcat 2007-11-20 11:29:52 (609 views)

S4 = 335. RS4 = M3 - ZaGerman2.0T 2008-02-27 00:20:26 (102 views)

Agreed. Thanks a lot Audi. - atmac 2007-11-23 17:33:01 (349 views)

Numbers don't tell the whole story, put the magazines down and actually drive both cars. - Indy-44 2007-12-12 09:35:47 (212 views)

good point, and ive noticed that over the years as well, the S is a lame duck - ads 2007-11-20 12:14:08 (460 views)

I do agree with you on a couple of things.... - DamienR8 2007-11-20 12:46:10 (465 views)

You can blame the popular B5 S4 platform for that along with the B5 RS4 never making it here,... - Mushasho! 2007-11-20 14:17:13 (463 views)

i like how you said the 335 has "only" 300hp... - ads 2007-11-20 09:18:02 (497 views)

It back-calculates to 342 hp. This is well known - Minimization 2007-11-24 20:23:11 (261 views)

With our AWD system, whp will probrably be equivalent - Mushasho! 2007-11-20 10:38:15 (234 views)

nice!! - 4Ring Jelly 2007-11-19 17:47:00 (259 views)

i like it, if the price starts below 50 - ads 2007-11-20 06:35:51 (218 views)

340 hp makes more sense - chewym 2007-11-19 15:23:55 (272 views)

335hp or 333hp would be a nice message to bmw :) - kiley 2007-11-19 21:59:13 (243 views)

You gotta think it will be badged like the other S Cars, right? "V6TFSI or V6 Biturbo"? - kyd_a 2007-11-19 14:15:13 (220 views)

This engine will probrably trickle down into an A3 or A6.. (135i...535i)... this will be interesting - Mushasho! 2007-11-19 13:36:56 (169 views)

Looks like a BMW to me. - ilike2breathe 2007-11-19 11:12:08 (309 views)

2nd - looks too much like a BMW - JW944 2007-11-19 20:32:10 (174 views)

Let's hope the turbos are more reliable on this version...please, no more K03s!!! - forcefedfreak 2007-11-19 10:52:21 (247 views)

Good point... K03 turbos had a lot of problems. Cheap to buy. Should use Garret - jwj 2007-11-24 09:31:50 (188 views)

Avant, spring 09, Euro delivery- Bring it on. - robbie22 2007-11-19 09:39:27 (244 views)

Yep I would 2nd that...And hopefully they (AoA) can keep good control on pricing... - PDXA4™ pdxa4™ 2007-11-19 09:51:56 (177 views)

Pricing is also greatly influenced by our weak US dollar (assuming ur in US). - NullTerminator 2007-11-22 20:51:40 (161 views)

It's going to have less power than the B7? I know the engine will be more well-rounded, but... - BostonScott 2007-11-19 09:23:41 (438 views)

One word: TORQUE :) - Rolf 2007-11-19 10:14:13 (407 views)

Is there a reason why the rendering is based on the regular A4 rather than the S-Line? - Moro is an Orange 2007-11-19 09:13:32 (672 views)

This may get me to sell my B5 S4. Great news! - MarkFank 2007-11-19 08:38:28 (196 views)

Yep yep;-) - domestique 2007-11-20 11:10:42 (152 views)

awesome...now i hope "accompanying combined fuel economy rises from 17 mpg to over 20 mpg." - BiturboBoy_V2.0_S3-- 2007-11-19 08:21:13 (335 views)

Will it handle the power as well as its predecessors will need to be seen... - SFloor'd 2007-11-19 08:09:40 (178 views)

What Audi motor was weaker than its predecessor, that you know of? With exception of UrS4>B5S4 - Mushasho! 2007-11-19 14:35:58 (206 views)

What are you talking about aside from the stock turbos? The internals are just as stout. - Pete S4 2007-11-19 20:24:03 (154 views)

Just my point... Audi motors have never had a rep for building a motor that couldn't handle power - Mushasho! 2007-11-20 04:42:47 (151 views)

AWESOME! - Godfather | Jay 2007-11-19 08:08:09 (164 views)

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y something to replace my 2.7T! I won't have to buy a 335i after all! - 2.7T_M6 2007-11-19 06:26:38 (256 views)

My sentiments exactly. - domestique 2007-11-20 11:08:57 (218 views)

Wow this is hot. - EuroVWGTi 2007-11-19 05:16:32 (185 views)

Sorry I'm still a fan of there is no replacement for displacement - ColoQuattro 2007-11-19 02:36:49 (731 views)

That's way too much money to spend for 35 hp... - Only1Z 2007-11-21 18:01:42 (234 views)

Agree. Don't miss my 2.7T's; oil leaks, blown turbos, timing belts, and all - scfan 2007-11-20 17:30:23 (189 views)

No issue with the 2.7TT, just have to mod them to run like a 40v.The styling is superior to the B-7 - ColoQuattro 2007-11-20 00:06:53 (241 views)

Drive a Stage 3 B5 and you'll change your tune. - sj6sp 2007-11-19 16:47:56 (305 views)

Agreed... That 2.7TT is my favorite Audi motor, blows the doors off the RS4 motor - Lightweight-USPowah 2007-11-19 17:47:38 (229 views)

You can still have your displacement by buying an S5. - Silver Stealth 2007-11-19 12:30:00 (171 views)

No they weren't. They were Audis way of trying to move the S lineup upscale. The B6 was a $9K+ - Hal_S4Shizzle::CBP 2007-11-19 12:09:32 (312 views)

Definately agree. The B5 was much cheaper, better interior IMO...also, add a chip for - 2001s4loored 2007-11-19 13:24:07 (281 views)

While you and George seem to agree on forced induction, he says supercharger. - ACSGP 2007-11-19 02:01:35 (408 views)

Superchargers are not a serious way to build a forced-induction motor - Minimization 2007-11-24 20:33:40 (209 views)

I heard about a 3.0 supercharged motor when I went to S5 training a few weeks ago - Aarononymous 2007-11-19 08:55:20 (392 views)

Not saying we'll never see a supercharger, just not in the B8 S4 - Jason Teller 2007-11-19 11:19:01 (180 views)

I think my information is more current - Jason Teller 2007-11-19 05:29:37 (438 views)
