Good point Footie. Pics dont do Audis any justice. There are very few pics of the S5 I like, yet in real life it's amazing

Exactly. The differences between the A6 and RS6 are far greater than between the 335i and the M3.

I think the front is a little tame but it does have the RS grille and new headlights. A car in this class can afford to be tame anyway, if it was the RS4 it would be a different story. However there are still great changes in this RS6:

- totally reworked wheel arches.
- new sideskirts.
- rear diffuser and exhausts.
- wheels (beautiful).
- bootlid.
- LED rearlights (not seen in test mules)
- RS interior treatment including unique seats and trim.


I don't think I'll ever cease to agree with you.

Pretty much summed up my thoughts again.

What is this..........has E90ice changed his handle to Ryan335.

Even with a tongue in cheek comment like yours you have to admit that no car with 600hp will ever be as slow as the 335i.

haha. I'm sure we'll find something eventually to disagree on but for now I'm amazed to see someone who has the same thoughts on design as me for nearly every car.

Everyone knows the minds of alot of 335 owners think this way.
It is sad, yet at the same time makes a good laugh.

Epacy,

It does sound like the 335i is the only car one will ever need, it quicker than an M3, RS6, F430, etc, etc, will most likely out handle all of them as well and yet cost buttons in comparison.

What nobs we all are for not seeing the obvious. I will cancel my order for the M3 tomorrow and change it to a 335i ASAP.

lol sorry.

Yeah, the problem is that there actually are people on this board that won't admit to another brand's greatness. I pity the foos.
