Nice video and in depth look. Curious what others think?! I'll share my thoughts!

Hmmmmmmmm I really have a hard time falling in love at first sight with this car... Personal thoughts are this... The exterior doesn't scream sexy (stock at least) and looks more as a luxury focused car vs performance (S car) from the B8/8.5 version. The rear of the car seems kinda bland compared to the front. Although Audi is know for cars that age well - stay in fashion... Possibly this is the start of a market wide change in appearance which will age well. The interior - as a tuner focused enthusiast - well... Looks a little daunting... All the electronics, LEDs in everything (hvac buttons/knobs, shifter)... Honestly it screams I'm going to be a pain to modify. Then to the performance... I haven't much to say about the actual hardware (engine itself, transmission, suspension etc.)... But dressed up engine bay with plastic everywhere - again is daunting from an enthusiast tuning perspective. SN: wasn't a flat bottom steering wheel.... Electronics/tech - there are a lot interesting tech pieces that intrigue me, i.e.: the new tach is sweet, MMI interface has a much needed refresh... If only it were available sooner in the lines. Overall impressions - "this is not the S4 I was looking for". Much can be said from a road test however, guess I'll have to wait it out until the local Audi dealer starts getting these on the lot. Curious what others think, please share!

Nice video indeed. I was lucky enough to get invited to the Audi Driving Experience event at Princeton, NJ. We were able to drive the FUCK out of the Q7, TTs, A4 and the R8. But for the sake of this post ill stick to the A4. The way that vehicle handled was incredible, Of course it had all the bells and whistles especially the Electronic Dampening Suspension. Took hard turns at 50-60mph with ease, The stability was incredible in the car. I currently own a B8.5 S4 and i was impressed how it handled compared to my car. If the A4 drove like it did then i can only see improvement with the upcoming S4. I was thinking about just jumping ship to a 2017 M3 especially that their order guides came out 2 days ago but i just kept coming back to that experience with the A4. I am now forced to wait because im just so curious as to how the new S4 will feel on the pavement. I am excited for this car especially that its a Turbo platform. No longer need to spend 10K for a supercharger upgrade for a mere 20-40% horsepower increase depending on complimentary mods for that SC.
