0.4 seconds slower than the M3 in exchange for AWD. Boohoo.

They need a retractable hardtop like the SLKs then it would be awesome.

I am not saying Audi should/could; hey, add all the weight you want too, it just saves my saliva for other cars to drool on :)

I'd much rather have an M3.

BTW, Did anyone see that top gear w/ the Front Wheel Drive Alfa Romeo that smoked the M3 around the track by like 1.5 seconds?! 326hp FWD!! It's a madman. Has a 3.7l v6.

IDC what car smoked the m3. It is the most stylish car of this generation. Out of any production car out there I would take the m3 hands down.

retractable hard tops are on 2 seaters only for a reason. It would look like ass of it had a retractable hardtop, literally - the trunk would have to be soooo long to accomodate a roof of a 4 seáter. Unless u plan the back seats like in a porsche 911...

For some reason I can't warm to the A4 or S4 convertibles. I just don't like the idea of a 4-door sedan turned into a 2-door cabriolet - the car becomes a little unwieldy IMO. It reminds me of the conversion of the Ford Taurus into a NASCAR "coupe".
