FRS/BRZ vs. Audi S4
 
Balanced, light weight, agile, cornering machine vs. Pig fat, euro trash, tree wrapper with poor handling

Four things.
1. Don't feed the trolls.
2. How much less could you care? (it's couldn't ;))
3. That's not an S4. It's an RS6 Avant, which is an even bigger step up.
4. The driver walked away from that crash.

I test drove a new 2013 Audi S4 yesterday. They are very comfortable, easy to drive cars. But their drivetrain layout is pretty much ideal for a road car that's driven on snow or loose surfaces. Like a Subaru, they use a longitudinal all wheel drive layout with equal length driveshafts. The difference is that they use a V6 engine up front, have an optional dual clutch transmission, an active center differential, and helical/torsen front and rear differentials with the option for an active rear diff like the Evo X.

The problem is that the car as a whole weighs too much and it's tuned for comfort rather than response/performance. So, with that said, if they made an affordable (less than $50k), smaller sports car like the BRZ/FR-S with a V6 engine, dual clutch transmission, longitudinal all wheel drive, multi-link front and rear suspension, and optional active controls, they'd have a winner!

Oh boy, where to begin? ...actually no. I'm going to lock this thread.

Having constructive debate about FRS/BRZ vs other cars are fine... but I don't think this thread is one of em
