Even NA 99.5's have non-flush headlamp washers, and S4 has &quot;crystal clear corners&quot;...

Default Re: I guess I was a little unclear

The clear corners and license plate holders indicate it is a Euro car. The headlamp washers and mirrors (if they truly are different sizes) indicate that it isn't a 99.5.<p>The U.S. versions will have yellow in the corners, just like the 99.5s. Right?<p>Noel

Default Yes, its a Euro car and thats why they won't let you get in it at the show.

Since the S4 on display is a European model, they will not let anyone in it so they don't see some of the features that are not on the U.S. model. Anybody at the booth should tell you flat out that the one on display is a Euro model. As for the exterior differences of the NA S4, I would guess that the only thing that is going to be different is the right side mirror is bigger. I believe that the U.S. is the only country that is getting a bigger right hand mirror.<p>Matt<p>

My Audi S6 has different size side mirrors, maybe it,s an "S" thing.
