Excellent write up on RS5 in Autocar

[sonny]

Nope, I would rather buy a C6 RS6, or even better wait and save for the next Gen RS4.

The review in Evo this month wouldn't encourage me to rush out and order one. I wonder how much down on power it is

I was just waiting for someone to say that exact phrase and hey presto!

I'm with sonny, a used C6 RS6 in saloon guise would be a far better proposition than a new RS5 and as for the next RS4... well I'm genuinely concerned that Audi lost the touch to make dynamically and powerfully great cars with the R8 and the B7 RS4. The B8 S4 is OK but for me aesthetically is a bit chubby and bland. But then the B7 S4 wasn't a looker and look what happened with the RS4.

Suprpised no one did sooner

The Evo reviewer commented that it didn't feel 'that' fast!

Probably because it is even heavier than our RS4's with same torque and a bit up on bhp.
