Audi made some drivetrain adjustments and was able to reposition the engine farther back for RS5 and the new A4,S4, and 5 lines. I think you will be suprised at how good this car performs even with all wheel drive. IMO I think it is a beautiful and expensive looking car and the design comes together as an integrated whole better than the e92 M3. However, I don't like the lack of room in the back seats compared to the E92.
