you dont see very many RS6's because less than 5k were brought to north america in 2003 when they were released.

Audi keeps everything pretty exclusive. thats why they do pretty well with their more expensive cars.

From what I've read the RS6 will be priced somewhere around US$90k, vs the S8 which sits at about 93, so I think it's an excellent deal. Unfortunately for us Canadians, it would probably translate to 125-130k.

Biggest difference is AWD, it's hard to find a performance car that can be driven 365 days a year in the snow belt with barely any compromise.

Audi's are overrated... That thing will probably dyno at 420whp and it probably weighs in at over 4,200lbs... I dont think it will hold up stock for stock with an M5 or M6... After a tune it will be a different story thanks to forced induction...
