Ah, possible new car time ...

Here is the deal:

Wife loves her 1999 M3, but there are two major problems with it ...

1) It snows in Colorado, this year we even had some wicked back east style ice storms. This car sucks so bad in the snow, even with appropriate tires(well, maybe not the studded kind, but that is way extreeme). Each year we drive it less and less in the winter and bitch more and more.

2) It is CPO car, but will soon come off of warranty, past experience with German Performance cars off warranty tells me this is probably not a good idea to continue with this car.

Therefore we need to consider replacing this car.

The parameters seem:

- Car, not an SUV or Truck
- 300+ hp, she loves fast cars
- Must be AWD as it really needs to go in the snow
- No WRX, she hates the way they look

After looking around a bit, it seems there is a perfect fit:

Audi S4 w/ Quattro (340 HP 4.2L V8)
