He was saying that Audis were such great cars that they should be selling better in our market given the AWD, reputation, styling, but they weren't. He had previously been an Audi salesperson and said that Audi just wasn't taking the steps to move cars the way BMW was then.

My experience with my S4 was..."Here is the sticker, take it or leave it."

From your post, and the number of Audis I see on the road these days, I would guess things have changed. When I drove an S4 I would occasionally see another S4 on the road, but now I see at least one S car per day and I can see several on some days.

Next time around I may run the Audi numbers. What was the sticker on your car?
My sticker was 58.3k, sale price 55.7k and I got it out the door for 59.4k with 6% MI tax. The 335ix I was planning on getting was around 55k out the door, so slightly cheaper. But I'm financing over 6 years, so the higher interest rate for BMW made them pretty close.
