You must be joking? Evo or S4?
If u go to business meetings, meet clients/investors (like I do)in an EVO - u will attract curiousity and attention - both of which WILL land u alot of business ! You will be defined as an 'out-of-the-box' executive. A person who will break the rules, boost savings/profits and most importantly unique !! Ofcourse the EVO wont grant u such qualities but it's a wicked topping !!
If ur business associates expect an 'immature' person only because u drive an EVO, then stun them with ur PR, marketing, technical skills which should seal ur deals anyways...
HOWEVER if u lack all those skills then yes get the S4. Capiche?
The s4 hands down is a great ride. But the Evo is in a dimension of its own.

All I can say is last year I drove my Sales Manager and Office Manager to a seminar and this was my Sales Managers quote "We need to sell more so Bret can afford a car that comes with a suspension"---true story

In this case, I'm going to recommend the S4. The Evo is a wonderful car but you would look absolutely ridiculous going to meetings and taking professional coworkers around in one, wing or not. As a DD, the S4 is a much better choice for your average person. The Evo isn't for everyone - like I said in the other thread, it's a car with the quality of a $12,000 econobox with no suspension but the performance of a $50,000 sports car. It's an awesome driving experience and I find it perfectly comfortable for DDing (except for all those damn rattles!) but it definitely has its niche market.
Do you absolutely need the AWD? An M3 would be a great compromise. Pretty fast, handles and brakes very well, and much more comfortable/higher quality than the Evo. If the AWD is essential, you might also check out a Volvo S60R. Plenty of power and good handling but very inexpensive.

The Volvo S60R is a very nice car.... awd.. turbo.. quick.. nice interior .. sharp exterior... Cool Suspension technology.
The only problems I have with the car is....
Back seat and Trunk are relatively small for that class of car.
and the foot well area on the driver side... is very cramped.
I wear a size 10.5 shoe.. and my feet literally hit the bottom of the dash. It's like they designed the foot space.. for 5' tall women.

To the OP - If you're that worried about image, then why not look at something like a 5-7 year old A8/S8 or M5? I've owned plenty of Audi's - very nice daily drivers, but man is the maintenance expensive if you can't DIY.
If you're thinking Evo for DD, then I'd strongly consider the MR - much more compliant suspension than the GSR or RS.
