S4's are extremely popular up here. Heh, my brother even owns one. I concur with Pat. S4's are terrific cars and are very quick (especially the B5 models when chipped). However, they are also very heavy. Lugging around the weight of the AWD system becomes very burdensome for that car. As a result, they are not nearly the track car that Boxster is. While power is more than fine, they simply don't have the agility and brakes are taxed. Nonetheless, you see a number of them around at DE's.

In fairness, the Boxster would make a crappy rally car.
