Just gonna copy my post from the other thread cos I'm lazy and can't think of anything else to say.
"Options include a dynamic ride control system with adaptive damping, RS-specific steering........"
Really? You buy an RS and have to pay extra to actually make it an RS ?!?!?!
THAT S**T SHOULD BE STANDARD!
Retards.

The front end looks ace, and I think the flared arches are there but hidden with the straighter lines than the B7.
Can't wait to see one in the flesh.
Agree with Si on the suspension, I just hope it's the sort of option it doesn't actually need.

Looks <beep>, but at least the likes of ABT etc will be happy about that

I'm not sold, the intakes look ridiculously big, but like you say I want to see one in the flesh before I bash it too much.

Top Gear Magazine have slated the new RS5, and the wording at the end of this article doesn't sound promising at this stage:
'It all sounds and looks rather splendid on paper, but there’s an issue. The RS5 with which it shares much of its oily bits also promised a lot and delivered very little. In fact, we’d go as far to say it’s our most disappointing car so far of 2017. We can only hope the RS4 turns the tide.'
Will this make the B7 and B8's a more desirable option?... who knows!!

It's surprising how many people chose to not have the DRC and Dynamic Steering on the RS6 so obviously a market for those options not forgetting that you can only get a tow bar on the 6 if you have the standard air suspension.

I know, there's some crazy folk out there. And without wanting to spark the whole air / DRC debate there's a load of folk on here who say that air is fine.

Looks OK, but not special enough. It looks like pimped trim and not a lot more.
