If you like the styling of the S4 and won't miss the hatchback (or you get the S4 Avant), I'd say go for the S4. Personally, I don't like the styling of the S4, the seats aren't as nice, the Viggen was thousands cheaper (although now you can get some deals on S4's -- they won't make them for a while), I didn't want an avant and the S4 is smaller than the Viggen and has less headroom, and the dash lights in the S4 drive me crazy. The S4 supposedly has better spool up times because it's biturbo, and you can also get quite a bit of power out of the engine (6 cylinder), while still getting all the power to the ground because of the AWD. The AWD system is nice, too, as it's completely mechanical (no weird clutches that need to heat up). See http://www.torsen.com. Also, have you thought about the WRX? It's fairly fast, the AWD system is good (although not totally mechanical, like the S4's), some people like it better than the S4, and it's many thousands cheaper than the S4. Of course, the snooty factor is much higher with Audi than with Subaru, and the WRX is downright ugly.
