S4 Cab

Post by Joshie » Fri Mar 19, 2004 7:00 pm

Got my first look at the S4 Cabriolet in Wayside Audi - Milton Keynes today - priced at £42K OTR including about £3K of options it looked stunning. The cabin is truly first class.

Looks like good value for money compared with the M3 Cab.

I' d arrange a test drive but I'm not in thr market for another £40K plus car..... just at the moment.

Saw my second one today at Reading Audi.

Was Red with black and the interior was black. Have to say that it looked pretty bland really and not worth anything like £40's worth :x

Glad I cancelled mine :)

Suddenly I am interested in one of these again.

What was the prob Gareth?

Anyone else test driven the cab?

Views appreciated, but FWIW I reckon the S4 cab represents good value when compared to its Merc and BMW counterparts.

Me Personally, I'd wait for a while, I have a feeling they will be doing a soft top version of the new RS4 when it is released :kissmyrings:

Not as long as you'd perhaps think Dave, I believe that quattro GMBH have all but finished the RS6 production run now. Unless they were leading us up the garden path last year, the new RS4 was the next vechile to be put down the lines, Cant see them sitting there idle somehow.

If that's the case, I'm surprised there hasn't been any photos or official confirmation yet - you think they'd be keen to get the order books filled up if they were that close to production...

It'll be interesting when the pics do come out...I'm not sure on the new grill look myself, which I'm sure will make it onto the new RS4 in whatever form you fancy (avant/saloon/cab)
