A recent spy shot of taken near the Nurburgring showing what on first impressions looks like an S4 Avant, but the wider track requiring Allroad wheel arches make the writers at Fourtitude believe it is a 'disguised' B9 RS4 Avant......

Meh. It's another Audi. The product will be OK but the sales and support will be gash.

Audi really need to stop the weight gain of there models looking at the new range spec every thing from the A3 has moved up a size A3 to A4 size and the A4 to A6 size i don't understand this rapid size increase in the modles

it is quite big thou

but to be fair to Audi, the initial reviews of the B9 are that it drives well, obviously needs to keep up with the 3 series and XE and the B8 platform drove like a plate of dog food

Before anyone starts getting carried away with the bland looks (like they are doing on PH), remember that when the B8 RS4 mule was first seen Audi did exactly the same using a S4. Back then it had rotors and wide RS running gear with a S4 shell so it didn't reveal the planed boxed arches and styling. I'm really hoping this will be the same.

I'd say that's the higher end of dog food. More like Aldi's value dog food.

The new A3 is lighter than the old one.

Yes this will bear little resemblance to the actual car. The only useful point to this article is to show that Audi are starting to put the RS4 together and probably gives a good guide till how long before we get to order one. Whats the normal time from mule to production?
