"Looks like a BMW" was the first phrase that came out of my mouth. Not a like a clone or copy, but the lines and stance are similar. Doesn't look bad, but I hope Audi keeps a distinctive look.

I'd love to see a V6 comeback. As much as I was stoked by the use of theV8 in the S and RS lineup and as much as I lovereading about themIjust don't see the need for 'em.To be fair the only V8's I've ownedweresome late sixtiesmuscle cars (Roadrunner, Mustang,Barracuda) anda 91Mustang, so I don't have any first hand experience with a more refined ride. I'd love to give the Audi V8 a try though. (they sounded sweet at the dealership!)

 

How many of you guys havetried the paddle shifters? Did it take a lot of getting used to? I don't know if I could ever master it...I tried and it felt strange...like driving via Playstation.

 

yeah they do that cause you cant take your hand off a f1 car's steering wheel everytime you need to shift. its more efficient to use paddle shifters. everyone else then got the idea that its so cool and wanted it for themselves

and unique? audi, bmw, mercedes, acura, mini, infiniti, nissan, hell even saturn uses paddle shifters. i wouldn't be surprised if srt-4's (a dodge neon) started coming with them too

 

That car is incredible...

 

OOOhh I can't wait, perfect timing seeing ill be in the park for a new car in four years time! Im excited about the forced induction 6.

I share everyones concern with the styling. German auto makers are trying to appeal to entry level business men, not young european tuners like this generation. Or at-least thats how I feel. When a car is that gaudy/blingy looking I feel like I don't want to tune* it, if that makes any sense at all

 

Yea, I have seen web articles and magazines thatdiscuss the new Bi-turbo 6 forthe B8 s4. The car looks sharp, but some of the lines are looking very BMWish. I think pricing is going to be an issue here. Why pay $50K Plus for a new S4 when you can pay around $40K for a new 335Xi that has the same performance or maybe is even a little faster?

Regarding exterior styling of the current B7 generation, there is no quesiton that the S4 has the BMW beat for good looks. imo

 

European Car has an interview with Audi West Wingers(Top Brass) and they lead you to believe that the company will head more in a direction of turbo-charging smaller diplacement engines. So my guess would be twin turbo 3.0 litre six.......if my opinion was worth anything.

that was my 1st thought also [8D][8D]

 

it does look kinda like a beemer but im sure once inside, it'll remove all doubt whos family its in... besides, the FI V6 doesnt hurt either. id pick it over a beemer anyday

 

The FI V6 would be real nice compared to the hefty V8. We've got an allroad with the 2.7 BiTurbo and its great
