The power figures from the s4 (333hp,325t) and s5 (354hp,325t) are very close, but the new s4 has the advantage of getting 25mpg. The m3, c63, is-f traps at ~114. Thats a BIG difference.
Also, the price with the upgraded DSG, which is something I am really looking forward to, will price this s4 close to the starting price of around 50-55k. The same as the starting msrp of M3, c63, is-f. I would love to get this car, but I don't want to be paying m3 prices while getting a stock to slightly modded 335i's performance.
I hope I am wrong and this car can trap around 108 and I will be happy paying more for the DSG, interior, and styling.
I agree with you. Audi stop overpricing your vehicles or make them perform to similar competitor's vehicles

Wow, Audi doesnt overprice their vehicles last i checked. In fact a comparably equipped A4 tends to undercut its BMW 3 series competitor. Granted, its a turbo I4, but dont start with that Audi overpricing.
Not to mention if the new S4 comes in at 48K which is where the current one is, a loaded one will be about 55K, which is the start of all these other cars (m3, IS-F, C63), all of which come with less standard features.
Just throwing that out there.
