Is that Suzuka Grey then? The v-spokes are nice but very reminiscent of VXR8 alloys?

I guess it must be
Interior is bown piped and stitched in grey. It sounds awful, but actually works very well
Normal seats arn't great though as they're very wide in comparison to the buckets. I think buckets will be a must
The wheels would look a lot better in a bright silver on a dark car

Colour is Sports Classic Grey
It's an exclusive colour.

Exclusive - and I sat there next to it for an hour and could not get the word 'primer' out of my head :(

Sat inside it and its all very 'pretty' - but seems to have lost the sporty feel. Shame...

I think Sports Classic Grey might be my favourite B8 colour!

Ok, so I'm gonna go against he grain here, saw the new un on the stand....pants, done nothing for me at all. Updated interior, yep, liked that, gizmos and technology, now up to date and good, BUT.....Wheres the seriously flared arches or something body wise to make the car shout 'RS4' ?

In no time at tall, all the avants are gonna look streamline like this, needs to be a little bolder in my daft opinion.

Rant over, disappointed, but heh, good day otherwise.

On another note, is it a general that toffs cannot dress themselves for love nor money?.....what is it with stone washed red going punk trousers, worn as if the floods are coming, with shirt collares up and striped blazers.....twats, the lot of em, money may try to buy them class, but heh, taste? Cannot buy that !

Long live the b7

I'm inclined to agree with parts of that, it's certainly not as aggressive as my B7 avant
These are a couple of other shots I took ;

That car is hideous,- in every respect. Sadly, I cannot see one reason why I would ever want to buy the new RS4. I'll stick with what I've got for a long time yet i think.
Current;
Porsche 997.1 GT3RS. Pure Orange, ceramics, etc, Sharkwerks exhaust
BMW 2002 restomod; Turbo body kit, S14 M3 Evo engine and lots more
Audi Q3 Black edition Quattro

Previously enjoyed;
Ibis White B7 RS4 Avant : TTS Supercharged 615ps/614 nm
Subaru Impreza 22B
Noble M400
TVR 400SE
Lotus Sunbeam Avon

forgot to mention, wheels....jury's out on that one, i liked them, purely as their slightly different from the norm and are gonna be bloody easy to clean, v good point, but again, look at any car with the RS4 style wheel and you always think...RS4, is this going to do the same..time will tell.....

It leaves me cold in every colour, and from every angle. TBH I still prefer the looks of the B5 I never had, but the B7 sure as hell beats the new boy...
