I picked up a 2013 S4 Prestige with 6 speed on Friday. Went with Monsoon Gray with the red and black interior. So far so good. Previous ride was a 2012 Shelby GT 500. Look forward to learning more about the S4 on the forum.

Some pics...

[S4charged]

Indeed a beautiful combo. Congrats

[desmo]

Gorgeous! Congratulations!

[Dahart13]

Awesome car...would be cool to hear a contrast between that and your shelby! Also like the Celebration ale...you def. have something to Celebrate!

I traded it. I'll miss it. It was a very fun car. Once it got out of the hole it pulled like a beast.

In terms of comparing the two, the Shelby had higher limits in terms of handling, acceleration etc. However, the Audi is much more usable, and hence more fun in some ways. I also love the AWD. This past Memorial Day, I drove from SF to Tahoe in the Shelby and it began to snow. Not a fun drive at all.

Nice car! It seems we have more and more Nor.Cal guys here so I think we should arrange a meeting sometime too.

Is that a beer in the cup holder?!?!?!?

My first thought! Nice car though.

Congrats! Stevens Creek always has lots of cars on the lot so you can see many colors during the day and night.

I'm sure that beer was only there for the photo shoot. BTW - Awesome "no door ding" parking spot!

[westwest888]

That looks like the Malt House in North Beach.

I highly recommend you take it out on track next month with us, at the nearby Thunderhill. Learn what the car does in a safe, controlled environment and keep the speed down on public roads.

Nice looking ride man! Congrats! I think you'll find once you get a tune on this thing, you'll be VERY pleased with how it pulls all the way to the "redline" of 6,200 rpms [rolleyes] if we ever get a DSG tune, that will also change and all will be good in the 2013 S4 universe :)

Welcome!

[tsjordan]

Nice car. The pics almost look like meteor gray the way the color changes with angles and light. The top pic appears to have a bit of blue in it, and the bottom pic looks like a darker gray. Very cool.

[Green Pro Am]

That is indeed a beer in the cupholder. However, I was not driving.

I live in a high rise, and decided to come down and spend some time learning the MMI functioonality etc, so I decided to bring down a refreshment. One thing I miss about having an attached garage.

Loving the car so far.

[AKPS4]

parking spot looks nice. seems like no one can ever hit your car with a door since you cant park too close.

[Green Pro Am]

Nice car! It seems we have more and more Nor.Cal guys here so I think we should arrange a meeting sometime too.

Great idea. I recently took part in a pretty fun drive with the Bay Area Shelby guys from Saratoga over to Half Moon Bay. Fun drive.

[ptx415]

Nice car! Good to see another bay area guy with an s4. Hope you see you driving around.

[subiesleeper]

Wow the interior is insane! Love the gray goes awesome with the liquid hot magma interior!

[unit]

sick car, going for a booze cruise? haha!

[GramCracker]

Beautiful car! Monsoon is a great color, especially combined with that interior.

Good choice of beer too, I am a fan of the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale [up]
