S4 vs. S6

[Steve Marinello <smarinel@neosoft.com>]

There've been plenty of queries over the past months over the
differences between the S cars year to year, but I've never really
tabulated and saved them.  Is there anyone that can provide a fairly
concise list of differences re. suspensions and settings, options,
interiors, wheels/tires, etc. for the '92 S4 through the '95.5 S6?

As I remember the '92 had the stiffest suspension settings and the rear
bar, the early '93's had the larger radiator and the graphite inserts
and the S6's were softer, but what was added/deleted year by year or,
(since we're talking Audis) what were the running changes regardless of
years?

BTB, found and gave up that '93 S4 w/ graphite inserts in L.A. to my
sister (WHY!???!!).  FYI, w/ 69k and probably being close to a 9/10 (the
cell phone doesn't work), it was acquired for $19.5K.  I'm buying that
grey-market '85 Ur-q to go with my '83 and am looking at all years of S
cars again to add or replace my present personal and company cars.  The
'83 may be up for sale officially by next month...or week, if my wife
has anything to do with it.  However, the good news is that she informed
me just this morning that she doesn't think she wants another van for
her next vehicle (Allelulia!!) and that she really misses her old '93
90.  I'll replace that van tomorrow with an S4 or 6 if she'll go for
it.  (The plan is exposed!)

TIA!
