Everyone, I'd like to get your best educated guess on:
1) Which RS4 model with the US get - Avant only, or Sedan?
2) Date that RS4, hopefully the sedan, will be available to order?
I realize it's only speculation, but curious anyway. Thanks.

WHY would Audi release a "new" RS 4 with the same engine as the (then) 7 year old RS 4 ?

ok an S-tronic box will help, as will Sports Differential and Drive Select

but come on, its the same engine ... I've driven the RS 5, and its no faster or any different

I just want see it myself

if you think that engine was n/a perhaps the car was a mule with the RS 5 engine in for testing

I really cant see it being anything other than 4.0 TFSI

if its 4.2 NA FSI 450PS then I think sales will be a flop and they will have lost my order for sure

Worked out things, its the new 911 for me.. Finances and child (size) will be just right in 2 years time. Until then i'm going to keep on enjoying the perfect recipe .. the B7 - it's spot on.
