A sparser a4 comes to about 39-40k all in. With equal equipment, the difference goes down to about $10k. Of course, if work turns around by next year and I get the s4 wish again, I'll be kicking myself and costing myself more if I end up switching out again...

Looking at this from a distance, it's possible no expensive sedan will satisfy you long term the way the croc does
There was part of an idea posited above that makes sense - why not get rid of the Honda and you and your girlfriend get something that suits both your purposes - something "cute" for her and something functional for you - you may have to settle for the Porsche as your driver's car - not a bad "settlement", and think of the new car as a ski-trip + shared DD.
That would open the door to a raft of unexciting, but useable choices that aren't too expensive - everything from Forresters to Q5's to Passat wagons to whatever works.
Just an idea.
