Hey , Hey ,Hey ...   You guys stay on your side of the line for your toys.
I'm waiting for $4 prices to intersect with my money allocation. If all of 
the S4's are gone I will not be happy.....

The A4 is still a 4 cyl , to me that is a major negative for noise and 
exhaust note. Audi will raise the price of the A4 soon and with Taxes
here will result it a $15000 Cdn difference. 

To by a new car and then have to tweak it just to get close to the 
S4 with further stretch the gap.

The A4 though is more my size of car and so cute :)
