Lots of Audis in LV. Not many S/RS cars though. Knopf is an excellent dealership.

Default Coupe has an optional sports suspension not available on the xi

plus the xi rides an inch or so higher.

Default Knopf is great...Service department is especially excellent

they have a gray '07 S4 in the showroom right now that I want really bad...stickered at $55,470 - was able to talk him down to $49,500 for the car, but they will only give me $17,500 on a trade in (05.5 A4 2.0T, Quattro, manual, cold weather, premium). was hoping for $20k + trade in.

Default I liked the 335xi ...

and agree the lease rates on the S4 are awful. But, the suspension on the 335 felt so soft to me, and the car just didn't do it for me overall. I drove the S4 right after driving the 335, and there was just no comparison. I also really like the relative exclusivity of the S4 v. the BMW - they're multiplying like rabbits where I live!

Default If my dealer is correct and that the factory builds them in batches...

Then yours will probably be built the same time as mine on 9/3 week.

Yes, but first impression of basically a different car.

Default No argument - overall, I just liked the Audi better ..

so I went with it. Now if the damn stock market would just stop falling, I might actually be able to pay for it, too.
