| automakers don't start forcing the CVT on us....fine as an option, but i would rather have the tried and true automatic transmission thank you. don't feel like being the auto industry guinea pig! | |

I knew Audi would do the right thing......behold the S4 Cabriolet: http://www.vwvortex.com/ (Center of the page under the new Golf) Note to Audi: Get rid of the A4 Cabrio 3.0L model and replace it with the 250hp 3.2L V6 model and add the DSG gearbox as an option, since a true manual isn't. The big question is whether or not a RS4 Cabrio is coming next? When does the A4 Coupe debut and will it get the S4/RS4 treatment? If Audi does this they will have finally realized their goal of going model to model with the 3-Series. M |

| The S4 covertible will be huge. I really liked the A4 cab, and will probably purchase one next summer, S4 or no. Will this be on sale in the States? | |
|
I'm not sure, but let me see...it debuts at Frankfurt in Sept, so I'd bet on a Spring 04' intro here. M |
|
| I wonder why they didn't go with the 2.7T instead of the V8. Bit of an overkill, don't you think? | |
| "Overkill" seems to be in vogue with German performance cars these days. If you include the RS4, which is strongly rumored to be coming to the U.S. next year, the S4 is the "middle of the road" car in the A4 line. Seems that Audi is moving away from turbo engines with it's "everyday" models. | |
| I read a road test that Audi chose the V8 to compete with the BMW M3. I just don't understand that marketing. I doubt they will ever be able to compete with the M3 in terms of performance/"sportiness". They have a beautiful convertible, available all-wheel drive, incredible interior. After driving one, I did think it could use a touch more power, although I was generally pretty satisfied.. Now in order to have more power, I need to choose a bloated V8 with a $10K premium. The 2.7T is a nice engine. I chose it over the 4.2 in my last A6, given the price delta was almost $8K. I would guess that the S4 convertible will be priced between $55-60K. That's big. | |
| My brand new Audi A4 convertible, 235 miles, is already in the shop since 19 days! for transmission and aircon replacement | |

I have a A4 Cabriolet 3.0 CVT and I'm experiencing many problems. The car bucks when it is approaching a complete stop and randomly does not engage the gas petal after pulling out from a complete stop. It will eventually grab the gas after some time, but by that time, I've already rolled out into the middle of traffic and the car is not accelerating. The dealership can not figure it out. It's been there three times for this issue and is only about 5 months old. Has anyone experienced this? Or have any solutions?
