Let's hope the B9 RS4 has the 4.0 Litre Bi-Turbo V8 that resides in the RS6...
it won't :cry:

Then Merc will have the C63 and Audi will effectively have an RS3.5 and drop the RS4 out as a competitor to the C63. Sad.

And Jag have hinted at an AWD XER (or XERS) with a variant of the V8.

I think it's safe to say Audi GmbH will need to step their game up to compete
They have a way of pulling through though, so we'll have to wait and see I guess

I sat in an XE S at Goodwood last weekend. Nice interior, felt well screwed-together.
As you say, it'll be interesting to see what they put in the R.

I genuinely don't think I've ever seen anyone under 50 driving a Jag. Has anyone else? Bar employees of JLR ofc.

Agree entirely
They're trying to reshape that image with the f-type, but they also seem to be fetching the 'mature gentleman' customer base too
If jag Swindon is any indication, the salesmen are all near retirement age too

I haven't either!!
Jag has got a lot better, but it still has the that old man vibe going on. Piss and slippers

The New XE XF and F-Pace will change all of this and let alone what else is coming in V8 Supercharged form ;)

Said the JLR spokesman.....

Just hope they don't fall into the same hole as the other marques in pushing umpteen models and volume. Does whiff a little of this....
