Kind of an impulse buy but it is a beatiful car. No plans to get rid of the SLK32 but I just couldn't resist. I'm sure the C63 will be awesome as well but it won't have a manual and I don't really care for SMGs nor can I get myself to buy a BMW. Black pearl/premium package. Love the seats, interior, wheels, brakes, and it drives great as well. No plans to tune it, just enjoy it as a daily driver.

no pictures is no option.

in buying such an awesom car you know that you are obligated to make and upload pictures - j/k, but it would be nice when you make some and show us your new baby.

congrats on the purchase

Congrats on an amazing car.

I'm waiting for the Audi-haters to jump on board and offer their condolences!

All I have to say is that my buddy bought an 06 S4 and he said the gas mileage is so bad he had it filled in Manhattan and by the time he got to Freehold twp. A 50 minute ride he only had a little over a quarter tank left...Now that is just way too much $ to be putting into a daily driver....nice car but that V8 sucks gas like no other.

Saw this car on the expressway last week. Was a red one and I must say it looked damn good...

Congrats.

No doubt. It's a V8 in a heavy car. But I'm pretty sure my C32 uses gas even while parked! I get worse mileage than my wife's SUV. And I don't get to listen to a V8 (except when I pass them).

I know it's hard to resist but if you don't stomp on the pedal so hard the 3.2 v6 minus the supercharger has enough oopf to get ya going. I noticed that when I drive conservatively the gas mileage isn't that bad at all....but when you give it all it's got you can practically see the gas needle falling towards E

Unfortunately, most of my weekday driving is in bad traffic; so when I get some open space, I want to cover it quickly.
Heck, I've got 350HP to play with, and I intend to do so as often as possible.

Sweet ride man but I agree, Audi needs to do something about the buck-tooth look of the front and I'm not feeling the back door RS4 badging but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.

Congratulations! The RS4 looks sweet. The only part I am not feeling is the front grill. Everything else is awesome. Any plans to mod the RS4?

Awesome car! Time to get rid of that front plate, tint the windows, and drop it...

EDIT: Oh, and have those mirror housings painted body color.

That's all for now.
