Which is the better looking car, the B7 RS4 or the B8 RS4?

Discuss.

Haven't seen a B8 Rs4 in the flesh yet but was looking at them online tonight and IMHO I think the B7 looks better as an overall package. I prefer the arches on the b7 and I am not gone on the B8 front end. However in the flesh it could look completely different.

B7 but like many others I would like to see them side by side. Problem with me is I'm a saloon guy so praying Audi change their minds and make one that doesn't need you to own a dog and four family mountain bikes :P

Avants are just cooler full stop. Maybe use the boot about twice a year and the backseats once :) ..... In fact I could replace it with a 2 seater. But it's just too <beep> cool.

I'm warming to it. The photos in this month's EVO mag are quite good. Page 122-123 next time you're in the newsagents. For now: B7>B8. Having said that though, the extra globular-ness of the B7 might not age well.

I was a little disappointed when I saw the press pics and then articles in Autocar, Auto Express etc. Expected something a bit more sharp looking. I get the nod to the original Quattro with the arches but the old Corsa had them too :lol: That said, I'll wait until I see the B8 in the flesh before being too judgemental. And besides, I can't afford one :(

Wrong!
The Audi Rs4 should only ever have come in Misano red. All other colours are boring. Except sprint blue which is........flamboyant!
