Yes, looks great (apart from the steering wheel). Some other nice motors in the background.

Yes, would be tempted in a few years; if it was manual, had RS4 style seats and a better steering wheel!

looks well and quite mean. Not a huge fan of the auto, do they actually make 444 from the factory?

Saw a Suzuka Grey one in the flesh when we went clay pigeon shooting last week. Spoke to the fella and had a sit in it.

I honestly thought it was a barge and it was only missing an anchor (I said anchor) to complete the look!

FAR too big.

Nope, 420 according to a German car magazine that reckon they did thorough tests !

I also found this link, not the one I had in mind but none the less !

For that price I'd rather have an R8 and ultimately lose less money on depreciation.

My Audi dealer rang me to ask if i was bored of the crappy RS4 yet as he had an RS5 in lol!!!

He said i could have it for the day so i might just do that for a comparison!

as black as it gets.. lovely car, but no manual option is the killer for me.

Plus it feels heavy and num on the road compared to the RS4
Plus the steering wheel is too large,

It is a great car, a great GT, but not sure if it is a real RS
