Re: Nice Video review of a B9
Already post that one in the video thread earlier
Yes not bad, although I do question if he has really ever driven a B8 or B7 RS4. He's owned a couple of R8's and now a S1 and RS6 PE, so is certainly au fait with the brand rather than being a paid journalist.

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
I watch a lot of his videos, he seems more grounded than the rest of the YouTube guys, and seems to let his passion for cars come through. watch his video on the Maclaren 675LT... that's a guy loving what he's doing. He also understands the benefits of Audi over other marques - even if that's being eroded at the minute with xDrive and 4 Matic on the M5/E63 respectively...
I wonder if the R8 RWS is a sign of things to come for Audi...RWS all the things...

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
I'm not sure I agree that it's the most aggressive looking RS4 ever but that Noggy blue one he showed at the press event did look good. This car is starting to grow on me.

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
Deffo growing on me looks wise and reckon it will look great in the flesh. The first time I saw b8 (on the cover of autocar) and the c7 on PH, I just thought was amazing. B9 not yet. Just read the review on PH and interesting they say the power plant is a bit of a let down and still plump for the 3 year old c63.
Re: Nice Video review of a B9
Mmm, that review is somewhat meh. I'll probably never drive one as it just doesn't appeal, if I was looking to buy it'd have to have a MASSIVE discount. It's nowhere near special enough on what we've seen so far to demand the numbers.

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
Like maybe a bit strong, they don't dislike it, nor do PH, but neither are falling over themselves telling us all to buy it.
It's a good car, but not great, and the C63 has it covered on the drivetrain.

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
But what RS4 have the Press ever said was great compared to the M3 or C63 that the can fling sideways at will

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
I think most have got it right in that they have changed the character of the car to not be as hardcore of previous models in which they will compete head to head with the AMG's or the M's, as I think Audi have given in trying to capture the petrol heads from the other German marques.
As an everyday driver that can switch personalities, albeit with less hardcore edge than the other 2 rivals, i think for me for the comfort for cruising and ability to switch to a relatively sporty mode is good enough for me to say i would be willing to part with my cash when it hits showrooms.
Hopefully with discounts, would allow me to keep my build under the 70k mark would be ideal! Be interested to know if anyone has ordered and what discounts they got/can get. I did see a post that someone got offered 10% right away, but not sure if they were a loyal Audi customer. Not sure if they will offer £7k right off the bat at my local Audi!

Re: Nice Video review of a B9
Hit the nail on the head
Journos seems to like cars that are edgy and fun for the short drives they have
In reality, an RS4’s big selling point to me is that you can use it everyday in every weather, and still make good progress if you need. That, and be a good looking car
I had an m4 recently for a few weeks, and as fun as it was, it was a <beep> everyday car, and the c63 just looks like every other c class rep Mobile and only comes into its own when the road conditions are perfect, and then it excels
