LOL @ all the Leslie Nielsen quotes.

No one knows what Audi will do with the next RS5 yet. It is all speculation at this point. A V6 with forced induction is still very much a possibility.
While the 5.5L V8 seems a shoe in for the next C63, that is not guaranteed yet either. Remember, AMG has used a supercharged V6 in the C-class AMG before. And rumors suggest that Mercedes is working on a new V6 with forced induction to eventually replace the current 3.5L N/A V6. All of their other engines now use forced induction, after all (every I4, V8 and V12). So an AMG version of that motor is still very much a possibility in the future as well.

Do you really think BMW would take themselves out of the running by using a V6?

Have you noticed that the M3 is always both the class leader when it comes to critical acclaim and yet is typically the least powerful?
