[s-cars] Re: New S4 Avant shown

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

How about just the B6?  Or is it 8E?  Damn.  Just
don't talk about it...There should be enough talk on
Audiotworld about it by now to make you not want to
even consider making a new thread about it.  So far,
from my "research" (if you can call a search on that
site research), it's going to be a v-8, 344 horsepower
6-speed with "mad crayzee quik skilz, yo."
