[s-cars] Neu S4 v. M3 -- was Buick Grand National comparo

[William Noland]

Der neu M3 had its share of teething problems -- reports of bad engines and SMG gearboxes. Quite happy with the neu S4 so far, but time will tell on reliability. Audi does need to make some improvements in the reliability department and in the response to reliability issues department. Maybe they need to create a Reliability Department, a Response to
Reliabilty Issues Department and, for that matter, a Department of Redundancy Department.
