It must of been a turning point as the demand was there and since 05 Audi have capitalised from the S-Line Brand, Common YES on all the Model range from 2005 to present. This topic will go for ever as we both have different outlooks on car's, yours is Value and Practicality. Mine is my living,Hobby and long term ownership along with enjoying the clubs,show and event's... Same with the Golf I have veiwed loads of Golf GTI's (since june) again Dealers and private.. I traveled from Wales to Plymouth to buy it, again i wanted a clean well maintained car.
The bottom line is as stated before The S-line emblem and Trim level and engine spec was placed on the A4 B6 it's as simple as that, i'm not braging about it i'm just happy that i own one. I'm 40 years old and have owned many car's most were RS's GTi, Gsi 'm sport' brand's but my A4 just feel's like the complete package.
It's all "midlife crisis" is all about ? As the other said, it's just a car, i am a dealer too and i see them just as tools-some nicer and better than others...
