Critics, on balance, agree that the 2008 S4 possesses an attractive body-style. "Though it is clearly a four-door sedan, the slick shape and blacked-out B-pillars make it easy to mistake it for a high-performance coupe," says Kelley Blue Book. Still, auto writers disagree on whether or not it's attention-grabbing.
According to Forbes: "Audi's now-trademark single-frame trapezoidal grille highlights an uncluttered, attractive exterior. That stealthy appearance can be a virtue for drivers who want to blend in (say, from the highway patrol), but it can be disappointing for those who want to turn heads." Still, the Boston Globe asserts that the S4 sedan is designed to do just that. "But there is no doubt that Audi wants the S4 to attract attention, if not from the authorities. It's available in colors such as Imola Yellow, Brilliant Red, and a variety of metallic and pearl-effect offerings that stand out from the crowd. Clearly, it's not a machine to fly under the radar."
Standard on every 2008 S4 are power adjustable heated exterior mirrors, power glass sunroof with slide-and-tilt functions and pinch protection, bi-xenon high intensity discharge headlights with automatic self leveling, retractable headlight washers, and 18-inch seven-double-arm cast alloy wheels.
