I would compare the RS4 to a silph like PhilT [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]
The RS6 is more like JR [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img]

I agree with that, i think the RS4 has a younger image, i feel the 6 as the ultimate car for my dad...
About anything else then looks i can't have an opinion, as not owner...but on looks and image the RS4 wins for me [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

Having a bit of fun [img]images/graemlins/jesterlol.gif[/img]
would prefer a Rs4 though in a coupe or a saloon format, purely on the basis that it should be lighter and therefore quicker and better handling, so as to match or surpass the M3.... [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/sloppy.gif[/img]
But hey, I would buy the avant today if I had the cash....maybe next year [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I RS3 Avant would be a intresting concept...... smaller than the RS4 and would probably be more tunable too........ i`d say that the 3.2 V6 Bi-turbo would be tunable to 500bhp! easy! [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

I think that you might find that this may not be as real as you think. What is the weight difference between a Saloon and an Avant (S4 and S4). Also, not so sure that a saloon would handle better, look at what Volvo did for years....

I agree with Phil, OK it is an Avant but with a good size wheel base it probably suits the power more than a smaller saloon or coupe style, however I initially would have prefered a saloon, the Avant has totally grown on me
I think the saloon or coupe would be a totally differnt beast.
The way i drive i think on the track the Avant size and aerodynamics mean that the rear can get twitchy but doesnt actually loose total grip until well past the limit, whereas a saloon would loose rear stability at slower speeds
IMHO of course [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]
