Best pic of RS5 I have seen so far?
Look at the LEDs on the bumper!!! Now it all comes down to the price of this beautiful monster; if the price is close to the M3 then I might actually wait it out and get the RS5 instead of the M3, but if the price is a lot higher than the M3 then it is too much. What should I do? Get M3 or wait?

And you think this is that much better? Don't think that I rate the looks of the A6 that highly but it's different to think of any large saloon which looks amazing. I know I'm stuggling to think of one. |

RS5 is NICE - but also AWD. AWD = more weight and less sporty handling in the dry.

When awd is designed properly it can be a real benefit, GTR has proven that. If Audi can balance out the front and rear weights and reduce the overall weight as well then I think the RS5 will not only drive as well as the M3 but will give you more options with the throttle and how you want to attack a corner. P.S. By the way I don't believe the RS5 will be as good to drive as the M3 but it will out handle it and produces better track times. It will be up to each individual to decide whether they want to be entertained or be the quickest. |

Who knows how long the RS5 will take to come to the US...buy a 2008 at a great price and think about the RS5 in a year or so. That is what my thinking is and I have driven the S5 and it is fantastic but very different from the M3. But the RS5 will be a different animal.

WOW look at the rear diffuser....
Much more aggressive than the M Although I'm not liking the cheese ball spoiler.

I have a feeling the RS5 will breach the $80,000 mark easily...
