Eliot,

	I was thinkin exactly the opposite - Why buy a new A4 when you can
get a really nice used S4 for the same money? (around here, about $30,000
fro either car) I like the styling of the S4 better, and I like the fact
that for the same money you are getting a car which is a much more
"expensive" car - one which has much more exclusivity, style, content, and
sophistication.  Then again, I've never driven one, so maybe your view is
more accurate :-)
