RE: S* cost

Wait for the 1.8t, throw a few thousand after it and you'll have a lot
more power. Or, you could wait till the fall (supposedly) and get a 30v
V6 A4. Neither helps you with the stereo, but..

If you don't need quattro, I'd consider going for the M3 if you can
afford it though (Nomex on). They're great drivers.
