C32 vc S4 in new Motor Trend

Very truncated:
C32, 0-60=4.77
S4, =4.99

BRAKES=EQUAL

SKIDPAD & SLALOM, S4&S4

C32, ALOOF
S4, ELEGANT

C32, ALMOST STANDARD C CLASS INTERIOR
S4, MAKES YOU FEEL MORE PRIVLEDGED WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR

AUDI IS MACHINED WITH GREATER PRECISION AND HITS THE HIGH PERFORMANCE SEDAN TARGET WITH MORE REGULARITY AND MORE VELOCITY.

seems no matter what mercedes does they will always lose to ANY performance car with a stick in the u.s mags.

We are an Audi tuner. Intrax/Hartmann. After the turbo upgrade on the RS6 it will destroy most cars on the road..
We need to have the new stuff..
We already have a Brabus styled C32.

Yeah boys...

But at the end of the day it's still a automatic. A real sports sedan has a manual, boys.

Just joking around Vader, RS6 is a great car!

Talking

I actually prefer that it is an automatic and a far more superior car overall, boys!

Can't get beyond the horribly bland styling of the audi along with their lack of reliability-OUCH!

No comparison in my book. C32 hands down.

Dude, please! What magazine did you think you were reading, because I came away with nothing but praise from their editors with a few very minor exceptions. You quoted completely out of context. That was a great article! C32 finished FIRST in every 0-whatever comparison. The audi went through the slalom a little better, big whoop. Even the reviewers said they'd choose the C32 as their daily driver and LOVED the torque of the engine.

Get YOUR facts straight Dude! The fastest 0-whatever is IT. If I wanted the fastest 0-whatever car I'd buy a top fuel dragster. My "direct quotes" intelligently describe how every comparo Ive ever read except that joke of an Auto Car article, says that our C's are fast in a line but in any comprehensive comparison WE ALWAYS LOSE. The last sentence which describes the Audi is how the article is finished. No out of context anywhere. I love intellectual debate but your immature, hyper-sensitive, jaundiced view of our C's is laughable. BTW, I was reading the same magazine along with the other top 4 car mags every month for the last 17 years, Dude.

You're obviously struggling with reading comprehension problems, "dude". I stand by my original comments that your remarks were COMPLETELY out of context. How do I know? I have the mag in front of me. Hark! I doth heareth the sound of backpeddaling, and it is good!

What would you know about an intellectual debate? Did you read one somewhere?

Guys....

I think I am doing you both a favor by saying you should stop this argument right now and not waste your time. I recently got into one on this board and it was a huge waste of time. It is obvious that this is going to go nowhere and therefore there is no point in the argument.

Arguing on the internet is just plain stupid!

Cheers.

An even bigger shocker! You conveniently ignored the irrefutable proof I provided, thusly making you into an ignorant jackass! Truth be known, this doesn't really classify as a shocker. Expected, to say the least.

You probably think a volvo is part of a woman's anatomy, right Cletus?

Could have sworn only one reviewer preferred the C32.

Dunno what they mean when they said the C32's interior is inferior? I think it looks way better than the Audi's, although Audi does have a better headliner (whoop de doo).
