Audi RS4 B8 beats B7: Tell Me I'm Wrong

[bam_bam]

Chris Rees is wrong.
All of his key points were trivial; size, weelbase, practicality - I'm a bulkier person but I'd still take the B7 over the B8. Just like I'd have a 993 over a 996.

Power - that gap would be bridged via MRC.

Gearbox - in 5yrs time you'd let your wife get anally pumped by a German engineer if it meant you could have that B7 'box attached to a high-revving V8, or any other ICE for that matter.

Interior - there's nothing wrong with the B7 interior, I drive a C5, I haven't turned the radio/stero/satnav on for 18months. Harden the fcuk up fellas.

Looks - the B7 wins. Period.

The B8 is a middle sibling, it can't beat its older brother because its older brother was a one-off and its impending younger brother is coming out of a completely different mould. If the B8 were offered in saloon it might not have polarised it so badly and there was no reason for it to get heavier either, even if it were for a double-clutcher. It just wasn't the evolutionary step that people were expecting, which is perfectly ok, it is a middle sibling after all. But what would I know, out all the cars with 'that' powerplant, I'd have the RS5, I enjoyed it immensely as the S-Tronic and that engine make sense to my brain when bolted into a coupe GTish kind of a car.

Have you owned and driven a B8 long enough to even quote.....

None of my comments nor opinions were based on ownership, dickhead. Now, feel free to go and reread the thread then post your thoughts OR bitch and moan about being called a dickhead, Dickhead.
