I'm leaning towards a regular S-Line 2.0T wagon now, only because it'll cost way less (servicing + gas).. I drove a whooping 50,000kms in the last 13 months

How come S4's are so cheap? And are they made in NA? Save on the ridiculous 8.1% tax..
However the new 2010 S4 looks beastly!

^Supply and Demand.. Nah, the S4 is built in Europe, so you'll still have to pay the duty
The new S4 is nice, but you can't beat the growl of a 4.2 V8 FSI engine with a MTM exhaust system.
If you're willing to spend 60K OTD on a new S4, you can import a RS4 from the states
