I chose a Viggen over an S4...

I don't like the styling of the S4, and it's small (no rear seat room and little headroom). And, I paid retail for the Viggen (no discounts). The Viggen is bigger, more functional, and it's better styled in my opinion. True, the S4 does come in an avant version, but, as a single person, I really don't see myself in an avant. I also don't like the dash in the S4 -- where's the button to turn everything off? It's too bright and ugly.
Now that the A4 looks exactly like the A6, I really don't like the styling of it, because you cannot tell an A4 from an A6. Also, to me the S4 looks exactly like the A4. I cannot tell the difference unless I see the back, where the S4 badge is. Why didn't they make the S4 sportier looking?
Also, money is not a good comparison. The WRX is way cheaper and more powerful than an S4, so why not buy it instead? Personally, I like the creature comforts of an Audi/Saab that the WRX doesn't have, so the price comparison is meaningless to me. Same for the IS300 -- I wouldn't buy it if it was 20k; it's too darn ugly.
