older s4 is 5cylinder. i'll tell u what, i'm sweating the new volvo s60 r as a direct competitor for the new s4(v8 unfortunately). 300hp at 5500rpm, 285ftlb torque, turboed 5cylinder, 6 speed, stock electronic adjustable dampers (comfort,sport, race/track), awd. stock 17s, available 18s. brembo double caliper front brakes (i believe). like 42k stickerprice. still out of my price range, but i might be able to use the ford x/s plan if they allow it for this model.
