Default 2002 S4 or 2003 S4?

I finally narrowed my list of cars to 2 cars. BMW 330xi and Audi S4. Took me freaking long enough. Anyways, if you read the new Car and Driver, it seems that Audi S4 is pretty much a better car. Now that i've choosen which car to get, here's the delimma. Should I get a 2002 S4 or wait for the 2003? I don't know anything specific, but I've heard good stuff about the 2003 S4? Anybody know anything specific/details? I'm afraid the 2003 S4 won't look at nice as the 2002 model. Any comments? Thanks in advance.

Default 2003 won't look good at all...

It'll be invisible. Word is there is no S4 until at least the 2004 model year.

I'd just get one now, then get a new one when the 3rd generation S4 comes out.

Default HP = 320hp for 2003/2004 S4?

what about changes in the 2003/2004 S4? I heard rumors about the HP being boasted to 320hp. Dual Exhaust and some other upgardes?

Default get the '02 S4. The 330xi is nice but it's not the S4...

I also drove the BMW but it's one of a million 3-series cars.

...and if it keeps up the trend of the 2002 A4, it will weigh 3900+ lbs.

Default There won't be a 2003. The best information I've heard is that they will make a 2004

based upon the new A4 platform, due out in the fall of 2003. Specifics about engine and performance would just be speculative at this time.

Go for the S4. The BMW AWD system is not as sophisticated. Also, the performance of the S4, including the luxuriousness of the interior, far surpass the 330. Just my 2 cents (my wife recently got rid of a BMW 325).
