Same here!

I got my 2010 S4 Prestige, which listed @ $56+ on the lot, for less than $52 - two days before the end of the year. In fact, it was $53K exactly with Audicare ($1500). Interest rate was around 5.6%.

I like the A7's overall looks, esp. those headlights! I also like all its gadgets. But, sitting in the the car, the interior didn't seem that much different than my 2010 S4 Prestige.

Hey guys, long time - no post! I've driven A4s & S4s for over a decade and the S4 seats have *always* felt better to me; deeper, more contoured, and with better lumbar support.
