I thought Mercedes-Benz would have learned from what happened when Jaguar released the --pimped out Ford Mondeo-- X-Type. I would go with the Audi S4 Quattro. It will have a nicer interior, better build quality, and it doesn't look like someone tried to graft a 1/2 scale S-Class onto an A-Class chassis. Also the all wheel drive will get you across anything.

I would love to get the S4, if it gave out 2 more highway MPGs.

If you can afford an S4, then you can afford not to care about fuel economy. The EPA figures are unserious fraud/scam ratings anyway.

I'll probably look into getting a Ford Taurus SHO instead. They use regular gasoline and are cheaper to maintain. Plus, they are from Ford, so I can park it in my father's driveway.
