Default I did. Space, minor weight difference, H Sports, and lastly the S4 4.2 has had the worst

reliability record since the motor has been out for over a decade. Not to mention the transmission issues. If you look at the suspension on both, the B6 is just a short wheelbase C5; especially with the B6 mounting of the H Sports up front. I did some hands on market research when I owned this ^^^ two years ago.

HUH?? The 4.2 in the S4 is completely different than the 4.2 in every other Audi.
