So what is the 2009 S4 gas mileage, city/hwy?
This looks like a BMW 335i or 335xi competitor.
The BMW 335 gets 17mpg city, 26hwy. The 2009 S4 needs to beat these numbers.

HP is only a number. This car will be as fast in the straights and faster in the turns.
With this new chassis combined with Drive Select, Active Steering, and now torque-vectoring quattro, this car is a game changer for Audi.
I was thoroughly impressed with the A4 3.2 at a recent Audi Driving Experience, so I can only imagine how this new S4 is upping the game. Can't wait to drive it!!

Agreed, most that buy the S4 will not care about the decreased number.
It will be a much better car. The A4 3.2 is said to rival the 335 on some road courses, so I imagine the S4 will be an amazing car with the new DSG.

It is of the same technology, being 7 speeds, dry clutches etc, but not the same....
It has to withstand the tq of the S4 and most likely the upcoming RS4.
The one in the Golf has a tq limit of under 200 i believe.
