I think the Audi S4 is overlooked as everyone wants the RS4, but is it really worth an extra £20,000 for an RS4?
The prices of some of these are wild, a lot of car for the money !!!

I think its overlooked at the RS4 is supposed to be that much better. The S4 isn't that great.

Different engine, which really is a mile apart, RS4 has more drive to the rear wheels than the fronts (I think), looks better, better brakes, blah blah blah.

Where did you read that? The original was a V6 bi-turbo though.
The new S4 is going to be a supercharged V6.

Yeah I read the new one was going to be a bi-turbo V6 because of the usual "fuel crisis, V8 gas guzzler, boo hoo". Just like the new Boxster is going to have a 4 cylinder turbo as the entry model.
