What do you think about the 2004 S4?

I like the M3's styling better. From the road tests I've seen to date, the S4 handles better than the M3 and C32, although I don't know if its as fast. Its a shame this S4 is not as easy to tune as the previous one. I drove a friends stage 3 S4 at Sears Point last summer and couldn't believe how fast it got up to 100 MPH. The turbos just produce just effortless power.

The "styling" in a word ? Boring! Very banal.

For those of you that styling may be important, that is.

I think the answer that you'll get in here will be very different than the answer that you'll get on the audiworld forum! Personally, other than Quattro, I cant see anything good about it. Its just another Audi. However, RS4 is another story!!

I like the look of the new S4. I think it looks even better than the current S4 (still very nice). The car looks classy yet sporty like the C32. If the world is without C32s and M3s, I'll go for the S4. AWD and a big V8, hell, I don't even need my SUV for snowboarding anymore.

Being a current S4 owner, I like the older version better. Both styling and engine of the B5 platform appeal to me more than the new B6 S4. I don't think very many current S4 owners will be trading in for the new S4.

S4 Avant (B6)...

will be my choice if C32 is not avaliable. Seden is not bad either but I love the Avant. I will vote also on RS6 Avant over E55 if avaliable. Since RS6 Avant will not be avalible in US and RS6 will be only import thru 12/31/2003. (It didn't pass the emission for 2004). It's going to be a collector's item for sure.
I'm just wondering why some poeople don't like the style of S4 but like the RS4..because of the Avant??
Too bad US won't have the RS6 Avant...

Let's not low blow Audi and say that Volvo is better. I'd rather own a Sabb than a Volvo. BTW, I hope you don't take offense to this comment seeing you have a Volvo in you Sig. I just have a lot of respect for the S4 and will defend it when someone compares ANY Volvo to it.
