Audi has unofficially announced that it will bring the S-Line package to the U.S.-spec A4 when it hits our shores in September of next year. The S-Line package gives the A4 a modest boost in performance without the heavy price tag of the S4.
“U.S. customers won’t be shorted when the new A4 comes out,” Christian Bokich, Audi of America spokesman, told Edmunds. “We will offer some, if not all [of the S line package], in different bits and pieces. We’re still finalizing the [2009] A4 lineup for the U.S. but won’t hold back on cool stuff from Germany.”
In Europe, the S-Line package consists of a lowered suspension by Quattro GmbH, 18 inch wheels, sports seats and a three-spoke sport steering wheel, all for around $3,000.

I hate the “S-line” as much as the “M sport”. Couldn’t they at least have given it a more differentiated name as to diminish the amount of posers?

This looks pretty good in person and the interior is as wonderful as it always has been. i’ll take this over an XF.

@ CA36GTP, How about the “T” line? I pity the fool who doesn’t like the T line…

It would be silly for Audi not to provide all options and versions in its most profitable market.

GetReal: that’s hardly a fair statement. There are many of us who desire overweight, overpriced, understyled appliances of tuetonic excess.

Love the headlight design. I knew they wouldn’t stay on just the R8 for long.

QUESTION: How does seats, suspension, wheels and a sports steering gives you better performance!?
Car would handle better but engine and power,torque rating stays the same!

Bimmer, a car doesn’t need more hp to perform better. Suspension and wheel packages do a lot. I know from personal experience on other cars. Do some research.

Plus, if that three-spoke steering wheel is of a smaller diameter then you get quicker steering which also helps performance.

And compared to base A4 seats, a set of good sport seats would keep you from sliding onto the passenger side during those corners.
