i have b7 s4 and almost upgraded to Audi navi (rns-e) but i am glad i didn't. i find audi navi is the worst factory navi system. i also played with s5 navi system while i was at dealer and wow. after 5 min of playing with it i was so damn frustrated. i am glad i didn't get audi navi units.

I had to choose between the SC6 S4 and V8 S5.
they already have 2.0Turbo in A5 models and will replace that v8 with Supercharged V6 in s5 very soon.

s5 is one of the sexiest car in my book within that price range.

Thanks, MrClean - the 2nd pic isn't actually my photo, but the same car. Just thought it kicked ass.

As for a back seat... I'd have opted for this... too bad we don't get it in the US either.
Is that the new S4?

I could tell the S4 was a more agile and athletic car than my E55.
Both my father and a good friend of mine drive E55's, so I have had a fair amount of seat time. To me the E55 feels a bit and vague in the corners, though the mountains of torque do redeem it.

I look forward to driving the B8 S4 in the future and maybe picking a used one up in a few years.

Nope, that's an S5 Sportback, only sold in Europe as to not compete with the A7.

the S5 is a brilliant car in V8 trim. I read somewhere that the 2010 S5's will have the same supercharged S4 engine, and boy is that a gem. Audi has really raised their game overall, and thats prolly why they are the fastest growing German premium brand. People are certainly paying attention to Audi these days and its all positive. Cars like the stonking new S4 and S5 and soon to be RS5, are testament to this.

That said, it would be worth your while to try out the BMW 335i... its a flippin strong car. I felt it was waaaaaaay faster than the S5 V8, but i am yet to compare it to the S4.

Both are awesome machines...
