Sounds very nice, but still think Audi have played it safe with the styling. Just a bit too subtle.

It's certainly lost some of the magic.
I just watched this vid and the top gear clarkson vs climbers race in the b7 and still would take the b7.

Hmmm dunno im warming to this one before ive even seen it in the flesh and i didnt even like the b7 at this stage! Im liking everything but the lack of extra oomph and quite possibly a backwards step in dynamics.

The only thing I'm really liking about the RS4 is that it diesn't make my B8 A4 Avant look dated!

When it comes to being an RS it neither looks the part or sounds the part to me.

Perhaps Milltek have got a pal at Audi to tone it down so they can sell loads of systems !

Audi did a similar video for the FL B8 S4 which I thought made it sound pathetic and look average. Now that I have one it looks loads better and sounds infinitely better.

My guess is the real life RS4 would be loads better as well. For some reason the videos don't do the cars justice.

Sorry, doesn't do it for me.

Looking forward to seeing a frontal view photo of the B7 and B8 side by side, still think the B7 will look better.

They've done nothing to the bodywork that would make this car stand out from standard cars, i've heard the designers of the B7 model have all left Audi, if this is true, it shows !!!

Well I saw a Sepang Blue B8 on the Audi stand at Le Mans this year and it looked the dogs!! and that alone made me want one......

Reading the 1st few reviews it certainly isn't getting rave reviews, which is a shame, but I reckon with out the options of DRC and Dynamic steering it should be alright for me!!
