No kidding. I would love a car like that, even if it was a 2.0T auto.

It'd have to be stick for me, but no problem with the 2.0T here. I'd chip it anyway. I think 333 lb-ft of torque ain't nothing to scoff at. It's no M3 killer, but who cares.

What I meant was, I'd gladly accept a 2.0T auto because right now I can't afford what I want anyway LOL

So my best friend used to own a B7 A4, V6, 6-speed. After owning it for a while he wanted something with more power so decided to trade it in and get a vette. For a while things were good then he realized he needed something more practical. So he picked up another A4. Yesterday, he picked up a B8, Ibis white, Titanium 2.0T, Quattro. His wife couldn't depress the clutch pedal all the way so they had to get an Automatic. His is a Prestige Plus, don't remember all the options he has on it, but here it is:







Now if we can get Aaron (JS + MS3), vwong, my best friend and I together we can have a Audi photoshoot of just Ibis white A4's.

I want another Audi, dammit.

I don't have 25 million pennies laying around to get another S4 and most of the A4s I see are worn out or CVT/Auto mushboxes

If I had a M3 then I might feel the same way ... Though I would have bought a S5 in the first place

Wow, that A4 looks sweet, I think I prefer the Titanium Pkg wheels over the S wheels on it.

So yesterday I ordered the 10+ LED head/tail lights and turning signals. Excited.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cgtpotomac/5326023772/" title="Sans titre de CGTPotomac, sur Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5047/5326023772_7ef8a22d95_z.jpg" width="640" height="478" alt="" /></a>

Now I'm trying to find a reasonable price for the 10+ grille.

What would you guys think of an Ibis White meetup somewhere in the middle in South OC? That way the guys from San Diego don't have to drive too far? Or we could meet somewhere like Irvine, or Orange? I just don't know those areas very well so don't know where we would meet. The only place I know of is The Spectrum, and this is also assuming the weather plays well.

wooo... A4 upgraded their wheel section.

sly, I think you meant by Prestige, not Prestige plus? Unless they came out with more option, which I doubt.

Prestige has every options besides rear view cam(retarded).

Lease on S4 was pretty strong few months back.

Saw a few A5 sedans while in Paris this past week. Those were kind of cool.

Nope.
Saw those too.
This was an A5 sedan. Or I guess sportback as that guy ^^ said. Lol.
I was confused at first, because I didn't even know it existed. But it looked it good.

I think the trim levels are Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige ... Which sounds like ridiculous marketing nonsense.

Both are as enjoyable to drive, IMO. But if you're car shopping for the wife , I think you should go for the S4 since you already have the M3.
