I drove the first V8 audi S4 convertible and hated the suspension...340hp and nice convertible and AWD is super, but rode worse than a truck. Bought an 03 M3 six speed manual, rode nicely for an M3 but mucho better than the S4 vert. I just drove an RS4 in Rockville, MD...Audi FIXED the suspension...much more compliant but Porschelike...no dive, no sway, just THERE. Trouble is no RS4 convertible yet...and the AC sux in the new Audis...just won't work on a 95F 70% humidity day in Maryland!
The new Saabs have excellent AC, BTW. So do the Lexus...but the GS450H has a trunk like a Mitsu Spyder convertible, ie., non useable for anything but a couple small duffles! Saabs have a trunk!
Oh yeah...and did I say 420 hp? Like, deceptive, quick hp with no wheelspin. Lovely on dry pavement and wicked fast on wet.
