Both share powerful turbo'd motors and AWD. I do like the additional luxury touches on the Audi since I dont plan to track either cars and would use it as a daily driver. I like the Evo's looks and exclusivity. The S4 looks too much like your everyday A4s and would almost blend in with the daily commute.
Just some comments to help me decide...and keep the flaming down please. Thanks.

But the S4 is a serious
in my book. Good luck with whatever you choose.SC~
hehe.. did I mention 4 dr ? ooops...
also wanted it in newer condition with up-to-date dash/ergonomics. I did look at the Mazda 6 but that is not much different from the AV6 I have now. The RX8 looks "different" but that is something I'll have to see in person. The lines of the C-pillar just looks a little off

The most financailly feaseable (relatively speaking) way of getting a GT-R would be importing it and then have it legalized by Motorex.
question for S4awd... did you have any mods to your car ? by boring, did you mean the car had no feedback ? was driving it even enjoyable or was it like driving a limo ?

I belong to a local car club and I'm sure the Evo will make a bigger splash than the S4, at least initially. But again, I don't wanna regret getting a car "for the moment" and wondering 6 months later....wtf was I thinking ?
