New S3 comes out in August. I drove the 2015 A3, nice car but it needs a LOT more low end grunt (torque).

The RS3 with 2.5L would be more interesting, but not sure if it will reach the US.

It sounds like fun, but the interior is really really basic, and I really like the extra room in the S4.

Nah, I am just at the boarder of too small in the S4. Would love to see some pics though if anyone ends of getting one.

And the S4 fits us just right.

Nice car but I would prefer a used s4. Although I don't have the sport diff neither does the s3 (I think). Many on this forum say they wouldn't have considered an s4 without it so I assume they say the same for the AWD S3. I am not in agreement but it's been a common response.
