Should I get a b7 S4 DTM or a 2009 A5?

Thoughts?
I love the A5 but I'm dying for a V8 and I don't want to spend the money on the S5.

Which car?
A5...
2009 Audi A5 3.2 quattro, $42,900 - Cars.com

Or this S4
2008 Audi S4 4.2 quattro, $39,997 - Cars.com

I like the A5/S5 too, but I'd lean toward the sweet V8 in this battle.

Can you get an RS4 for the price of the A5 you're looking at? I want to say they're starting to get close to that price range...

I just sold one last month for almost 49k not including cert... 07, 23k miles. I think it'd have to be a higher mileage car to get there.

As an owner of a DTM S4 you know where my vote stands.

The sound and torque of the V8 is hard to beat. It makes a fun car because no one knows what it is. When you get on it all they see are those four big tailpipes.

We rarely get above 14mpg in our B7 S4 Avant manual in city driving, just thought that you should know.
