any word on 2010 S4 Avants?

 

Not coming to NA.

 

Nice to see the stunning A5 will be offered with the 2.0 and 6 speed manual.
Might be enough to make me trade in my TT 225.
What are the main differences in the Premium?

 

 

 

Nice prices....



but the 3 series lease rate / residual still make it cheaper

 

It is tempting to compare the BMW with Audi, they do compete in the same segments, but....

Firstly the Audi's Quattro is the most refined AWD system available, no one has more competition experience with AWD cars (maybe Subaru if you count rallies). BMW's X-drive is completely unproven in competition.

Secondly the BMW comes only with a much thirstier 6 cyl engines. Audi's 2.0 TFSI is perhaps the sweetest engine on the planet, plenty of power, and good on fuel. Important these days.

Thirdly the A5 and TT's especially are drop dead gorgeous. While it is a very competent car the BMW looks tacky IMO. In Europe Audi is seen as superior to BMW by many enthusiasts.

 

S4s will qualify for Supplier Purchase Preogram, Fleet and others!
