Why do Autocar magazine dislike the S4?

[longdog]

So, I've been an Autocar subscriber for years and, in general, I really like the magazine but I have noticed that they don't really hold Audi in that high of a regard.
I was reading this weeks edition where the new BMW 235m thingy is in a group test against the cayman, A45 and the S3 and I came across a statement where the author describes the B8 S4 as insipid! Now I know that it may not be the best car in the world but insipid is a bit strong.
Glad to get that off my chest!

If it doesn't oversteer then the journalists hate it. Hence they mostly dislike Audis.

I take anything he says with a pinch of salt,he once said by pressing the sport button on an RS3 it changed the suspension from hard to rock hard{the RS3 does not have adjustable suspension} he says in this video the S4 is Turbocharged {its Supercharged} he clearly doesn't know what he's on about.
