Hate to break it to you benz boys. Im a die hard Mercedes fan by all means but I would take this RS4 over the C55 and possibly the E55. Its agressive styling and interior is perfect. The engine is also amazing, Just imagine all the mods that will be out for this car once it hits the u.s market.

THIS IS THE RS4 too, not the S4 this is the ultimate version of the RedBadge 4, if the new M3 can do that againest this, imagine what a CSL will do to it. Also i think id rather have a AMG C-Class over this too because i hate the red interior of AUDIs, and the fact it looks like a VW on the inside. Thats just my opinion though so dont flame me.
Audi is always conservative with their figures... I'm guessing 0-60 in 4.3-4.4 second range...

Only thing going against it is not enough torque 430 Nm = 316 lb-ft. Compare with the C55 and you'll know what I mean...

I think it all depends on pricing in this case. If the RS4 is priced above 70k - that's too much. If its' below well then its going to be a winner.

from what i have seen personally, AUDIs usually dont hold their values as well as the mercs or Bimmers. 2001 S4s are selling at about the same price as 98/99 M3s. Also while i do enjoy AUDIs interior, my friends parents have an A6 and my friends neighbor has an RS6, i feel that they use to much red, and that their interior reminds me of volkswagen. I do not blame AUDI for this, but i blame VW AG in general. VW tends to do cookie cutter things with their companies and i feel that the RS model AUDIs will be cookie cutted out to VWs, Seats and everything else VW owns. Just like Lambos V10 is bieng used in the next RS6, and a few other vehicles.

.that old rs6 was pretty damn nice. too bad so many of audi's cars are quite heavy.
is it just me or do many auto makes have issues with their a$$es? just can't seem to shape it properly. take a look at bmw.. and this b7 butt is bleh... fronts never seem to be too bad... it's always the rear end...
i don't see a nav system in there.. wasn't that the complaint on the b6..psuedo nav crap they have? or is it hidden in the middle of the instrument cluster?
