I mean base price of 66k with only one major option (premium package for 4700 dollars) brings the price to about 71 and change after destination charge. Seeing how many connecticut dealerships charge near 40k for a 3.0 a4 fully loaded I think 71k for an s4 on steroids or an a4 on steroids and crack is not too bad. Its to be expected. I mean the day I bought my evo I walked into a dealership with 40 grand cash to buy a used s4 and the audi snobs didnt even approach me for 20 minutes until I grabbed the salesperson. Needless to say later that day mitsubishi got some quick business from me
The S4 shouldn't even exist as it is.. or it should have the performance of the RS4 and the RS4 should be at the level of the M5.

its pretty ridiculous that they keep saying this.. sorry the MR is just a appearance package for the most part.. a collectors car. None of the fastest evos in the world are MRs.

But I have a question....I like the MR but why is it the end all be all of EVOs? Everyone refers to the MR as if its so much better than the others. I researched before I purchased my IX and went with it because it didnt seem that the options were enough of a benefit for $4k more. Does anyone have an answer to this?

This is a comparison of stock cars. Not that respect car and driver's opinion on things. But I've seen a few other show's and magazines' test results for the different models to show the MR has a slight advantage on handling. I just wish the U.S. model had the Active Yaw Control.
