Autocar states this week that the new S4 due in 2014/2015 will be a 2.0 turbo

Oh dear!

I disagree (partly!)

They were spot on with B8 rs4 when some were saying uprated S/c V6 or new TT V8

That's going to need a big turbo and hence turbo lag and hence not my cup of tea. I really don't miss my 2.0T, I much prefer the linear supercharged V6.

Engine from the RS3 would be good too.

Merc though, grey, binary talking, old fart mobile.

And where does it produce that power, can't see it being a linear delivery.

Agreed but that is a different class car eg A3 and therefore in my view (probably wrong!) more acceptable!

im sure the S4 wont be a 4pot

maybe a 5pot, or V6 with cylinder de-activation
