believe me, not all Americans drive or want PU's.........

I would KILL for an RS4 Avant with DSG7 here in the States.

One can hope/dream/pray.....

Well, I never brought up the word racism, but there are many comments on this board regarding Amercian Enthusiasts, as: Not real enthusiasts Morons Idiots 'Americans can't drive because they have a 55mph speed limit' Cars aren't made as good because we don't have Autobahn.... <beep>, I wished I'd sa...

You seem to be in touch - will the new S6 run a de-tuned V10 or a V8 instead?

I've been told the s6 will run the 4.2 FSI V8 in the RS4.

Same motor or detuned to 400hp.

RS6 and S8 will get V10.

Nope. 6MT only in the RS4.

But a nice V10 and DSG7 in the next RS6 if you'd like to wait for 2 more years....

I'll tell you how much I enjoy this car when I drive it in August at Catalunya !!!!!! The Euro spec version to boot......... The only one making this a Euro/US debate is Nord. With constant rants about watering the car down for US. whatever... I'll love tearing around town and Leguna Seca, Cal Speed...

Jees, you are one miserable git!! so carbon fibre roof and body panels, lightweight glass, sports oriented suspension possibly with Ohlins 'lifts', engine optimised for 98RON with more aggressive engine management, cam profiles and exhaust systems, better brakes and brake ventilation, better qualit...

Funny, the US market cars will NOT have the starter button !!!!!!! I do agree, that US enthusiasts mod the cars to make them more a 'drivers' car. But this is an RS model, not an A or S. Are you telling me the RS6 we compromised because they were going to seel 900 of the 8900 made ? Sure, only Europ...

How is that car watered down because of US enthusiasts ? What does this conversation have to do with Idiots, bums and sue happy folk ? I fully agree about the driving behavior and wished we had tougher driving tests and such. The US will only get 1/6th of the production numbers for this car. They(au...

An Audi, for Audi enthusiasts in the States !!!! oh and the rest of the planet too .....

I looked into this months ago, for the same reason as you.
I'd love to haul my RS4 round the RING and shoot some video.

No Euro delivery and NO more shooting video allowed on the RING.

so, that's it......

DSG will NOT be on a B7 RS4. MY2008 is when all Porsche and Audi cars will debut DSG trannies on longitudally mounted motors. The Buggatti Veyron and the new S6 is testing the next gen 7 speed DSG. The B7 RS4 will not be in production long enough to recieve it. Unless they decide to do a small run a...

The US will receive 1250 RS4's. You're dealer is lying to you. A P car is like an M3 in the US. A dime a dozen. Even with 1250 RS4's throughout the US, they'll be really RARE !!! Also, you should have not had to leave a deposit. AoA's policy is only a $500 deposit is needed, when the dealer has a VI...

Hartmann Wheels in the US is making a Forged Replica version.
Not sure when it will be available, but they have a few prototype versions they are looking at.

They are not on the site, but if you contact them, they'll fill you in.

If I had a B5 RS4, I wouldn't be sooo fast to jump on a B7 RS4. I own a B6 S4(same as B7) and I'll be upgrading to the B7 RS4 immediately. But here in the States, we'll only have about 1250 of them in the US. So, it will be more rare. Also, the B7 RS4 will far outperform an S4. It won't be much of a...

Anyone seen the new S4 that is offered in Phantom Black ?
Or the new TT ?

Any pix ? really want to see the difference....
