Has anyone driven one of the latest Audi S4 3.0 V6 supercharged yet?

Particular anyone who has experience of the last RS4 V8, been looking for a RS4 Avant but they seem to be holding there prices so well that i'm contemplating a S4 Avant.
EVO gave it a really good write up see http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/2303...

yep Its slower than a RS4 but how fast do you wanna go (Ok faster than wot you got)...Its certainly a lot more frugal, less polluting and importantly EVO really praised its handling

I saw this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/944186.htm so they must be starting to appear

that advert is very optimistic as you can get 4k off a new one via the usual online suspects, so 31500 plus options...

Just as well. Playing on the Audi configurator this morning I came to £46k.
Worth the extra £20k over what they'd probably give me for my RS4?
Hmmm...

yep...by the time you have added the dynamic suspension, steering & differential. speaker upgrade and super sport seats its getting close to 40k without discount.

My desired but not lavish spec came to £37,250 with 10% ish discount and that's without any sat nav

From a totally biased, subjective and uneducated view - I really like these laugh

Very interesting to see what the tuning community can rustle up over the coming years.

Ive already told my local dealer to give me first refusal on their demo S4. Be interesting to see what they think it will be worth come summertime and a couple of thousand miles on it.

I was originally thinking of putting an order in for an early, new car. But what with the Credit Crunch and state of car sales, I decided it would be prudent (keeps the boss happier) to wait it out for a few months and try and pick up a (relative) bargain smile

Still waiting for a phone from the dealer to go have a poke round and drive of their evaluation/training car
