It's not people making a mistake, it's Audi giving up the game.

The S4 used to be the M3 competitor. Now that it's not even a contest, people started comparing the S4 to the 335 to be more charitable. Audi's not "doing a better job differentiating", they are bringing the RS4 to the US finally, in order to compete.
