2017 S4 Revealed at Frankfurt

The TT V8 cars using the 7 speed DSG make over 450lb/ft torque, they are very under rated. The chances of Audi leaving no headroom on that whatsoever is pretty slim, so I doubt there is too much power handling difference at all between the DSG and the ZF.

It's been 5-6 years since I read into it. I guess it is rated at 442lb/ft.

Still I think it's warranty/usability issue to have DSG dropped on the B9 S4.

This is what I assumed, you start to read some a lot of the horror stories around 110k on the DSG ($$$$) and I'm sure customers aren't too happy with Audi when they get those bills flying in.

I know the more I look at the new S4 between turbo, no DSG and all. Sure would push be towards MB/BMW for that category. Granted I still want an M4 so not that hard

Sorry to bump an older thread, but has anyone taken a look at the 2018 S5 Sportback? I saw one on 17th last week (dark grey) and it looked pretty sweet. They have any at the dealers to look at? I am assuming they aren't going to move at all on pricing.

I really love the look of them. It drives just like an S5 coupe but with more versatility and that sweet 4 door coupe look. It's too bad it gets quite expensive once you're optioned out plus the finance and lease rates are terrible.

Saw a white one couple weeks ago. I'm starting to like the sportback now even more so than the C43 because of the versatility. Perhaps next year I'll move up. Hopefully there will be more interesting colours than the current offering.

RS5 Sportback looks really good too. But I do agree that the finance and the leasing rates on Audi's suck.

I like that sportback. But FFS....just give us a damn wagon. This just-the-tip sportback stuff is kinda lame.

Love the Sportback ever seen one in person in Germany a few years back. This one may get me back to the Audi side of things when current lease is up.

Glenmore Audi has a couple S5 sportbacks from what I've been told.

Their RS3 demo just came in too. It's starting to look like a great option for a daily driver.

Love the RS3 especially the engine. So expensive for an upgraded S3.
