Looks good tho!

I think the RS5 is Gorgeous inside and out.
If its performance eclipsed the M3, I would have been in line to trade my car for one. I just couldn't justify paying money for a car that was no different in performance.

In all honesty, I believe that the RS5 is a good choice. I know, I know, I own an M3 and I'm saying this on an M3 forum. But seriously, the RS5 has just as nice of an engine than the M3. It shift, nearly identical. The interior winds 24/7 in an audi, and seriously when will I fully use all the performance of an M3? The all-wheel drive in the Rs5 is a deal-maker for me especially if you live in the colder climates.

Having said all that, I love my m3, but the RS5 is my mistress.

Thank you for the pics. Car looks great. When you a chance do you think you will be able to do a comparison write up? I used to own an RS4 and have to say I am intrigued by the RS5.

Sure! I didn't have a chance to drive it much but I can tell it needs to be driven hard. The break in period is a 1000 miles but it can't be red lined until 5500 miles . So far I'm impressed with handling espically in corners. I will post a review once I get to drive it more.

Thanks. Can't wait for the review. Now go out there and hit that 1000 marker.

Gorgeous car, all of the new Audi's are beautiful inside and out.

My brother just placed an order for an Imola Yellow S4, I love the new grill and headlights. No 6MT option on the RS5 was the killer for him, I wonder why they got rid of it from the previous gen.

Congrats!

Beautiful RS5 and nice choice on the interior color too.

They have 6MT on the B8.5 S4...but not on the RS5? Wut.

The RS5 looks eyegasmic. It looks incredibly aggressive from the front...
