[rs4nightmares]

so then i guess i’m not the only one disappointed with the rs7?(aesthetically speaking of course)

B8 RS5? Different, but it’s subtle until you put them side by side. The RS5 is much fatter.
RS7?? Hardly different.
RS3? Hardly different.

It’s a bit disappointing if this is the trend. At least the C7 RS6 looks like a B7 RS4 times 1.15. It’s awesome.

Yea I’ve been a bit discouraged about this aesthetic trend as well, but you’re seeing similar from /M and AMG (except for black series, they’re still nuts). It seems /M makes their initial offering pretty different and special, and then as they “facelift” them, the “sport version” cars have almost identical aesthetics as the /M cars do.

When you mentioned the RS3 coming to NA, that really excited me, but seeing the pictures, it could easily be the look of a A3 sedan. Just seems far from the “RS” lineage of yesterday.

we haven’t seen an RS3 sedan yet. There’s still hope

Is there confirmation of an RS3 sedan for the new generation at all? It could be hatch only.

[sakimano]

Could be but I reckon there will be an rs3 sedan for us over here.

I dunno. The C7 S6 is a softer car in general, throttle response is slow, the suspension response is slow, air springs too don’t forget. It’s a rocket couch, I already have one of those at home.

The C6 RS6 is even worse, from what I understand, but I’ve never been in one.

It’s not for me.

That’s a little bit of what I’m concerned about. The pros for the car are the extra space and the ability for my wife to drive it. The (potentials) cons are that it may be less fun for me to drive and will cost a lot more.

[notarmed]

Unless you are in sales and have to shuttle clients around, a limousine is hardly a fun daily driver.

If rather buy and A8 than an S6 if you are going full sled.

The forum is full of people who bought and sold an S6 after ‘graduating’ from their 4/5 chassis cars. They’re huge and it’s a very different car.

That’s a little bit of what I am concerned about. With an infant and rear face child seat, the front passenger seat needs to go pretty far forward. The extra space would be nice, but not if I have a car that isn’t nearly as enjoyable to drive and costs around double what my S4 is currently worth.

you have a 911 turbo? 996 or 997?

If 997, you could drive that whenever you want really. It’s modern(ish), up to date, and comfortable. AWD.

So if I were you, I would ditch the B8 and get something more utilitarian like a diesel allroad or a diesel SUV of some sort. If you have clear roads and a fun day at work, take the Porsche.

[salmon]

I don’t DD the 997 at all and it doesn’t work when I have the baby with me. I have an SUV as well for winter/towing. I doubt the S6 idea will move forward, but it is appealing at least on paper.

[NeedQuattro]

It’s the 4.0T that impresses me the most about the S6, not really the looks/size of it. I’m not married yet, nor do I have kids, and i’m only 5’8" so I definitely don’t need the space… it’s just that damn engine. I really hope the 4.0T makes it to the next gen RS4, and I think it should if Audi expects to compete with the next gen M3/4.

[Jspazz]

Salmon you have even more choice in awd machines hahaha.

I think your S4 is a pretty sweet ride, considering the lap times you can cut at the track.

With my 5 and 9 year-olds they have no problems in the S4, no need for anything bigger, and we travel a lot. If they’re alone they are supremely disappointed if I don’t take the NSX, especially my 5-year old girl who likes to shift. I keep waffling between looking at buying a GT3 or 997TT since I know they would LOVE to both go everywhere in the TT.

The way I see it in a couple years the 997TT will be a family car for you.

[Jspazz]

Auditude 2.0T —> 3.0T —> 4.0T?

[primetime]

Auditude 2.0T —> 3.0T —> 4.0T?

Or… Auditute 2.0T —> 3.0T —> 2.5T —> 4.0T? ;D

no, 2.0T, 4.2, 2.2T, 3.0T, 3.0T, then whatever happens

Actually his dad was the original auditude…auditude4.2 or something (A6 4.2?)

My dad was AuditudeA642 lol…

I went from:

A4 2.0T
S4 4.2
A4 2.0T
S4 2.2T
A4 2.0T
S4 3.0T
S4 3.0T

I actually purchased the RS4 from my dad after he did the 20’s and suspension bc he preferred it stock but I ended up selling it to a friend 3 months later so I never really got to have much fun with it…

My dad gave it to me for a really good deal and my friend ended up giving me good money for it so I split that profit with my pops and that’s when we both got into the B8 world.
