Well, feelou,
not quite the reasons I want turbos and RS6 will not do it for me either. Iwant to have the following feeling in the morning and the evening:

when I think of "hey, I'm about to drive my RS4", I wanna have a [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img] on my face,

then, when I enter the underground garage, I wanna have a [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img] on my face (because it looks drop-dead gorgeous - which the RS6 DOESN'T, neither does the S4),

and then, when I drive along, I wann have a [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img] on my face (because the engine feels just great, sounds great, and kicks the @#°°@#°¦@ out of you.

Now, let's look at what is around:
RS4: looks great, kicks a.. turbo-style
S4: kicks a.. kind-off, looks dull
RS6: looks dull, kicks a.. turbo-style

new RS4: does not kick a.. turbo-style (see post above), but maybe it is a killer-engine nevertheless - wê'll see. So, as I wrote, it needs to look georgeous at least.


Remember you once posted
RS6 is Jennifer Lopez now
RS4 is Alicia Silverstone in her Aerosmith days


What's the new RS4 gonna be? We'll see when Carl posts the pics

What's so special about a 4.2l engine that does 420bhp?
All the other companies have been doing it for years. Hell, even bloody Honda can do it.
I just hope it isn't just horsepower, but tuned for plenty of torque as well. That's what gives tou the kicks [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

420bhp? I have 470 now! At least now I don't have to worry about a new car for at least 5 years. Maybe the next RS4.

I agree total!!! [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]
I have 515hp today!!! [img]images/graemlins/jump3.gif[/img]
Why do I come back 420hp or 440hp [img]images/graemlins/dung.gif[/img] NO TURBOS???????
In my opinion this engine is for the taste only of the AMERICAN market, big motor V8 and NO TURBO! [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]
In this case, in my opinion agian, that is better to buy a S4 will be more cheap! because of 344 for 420hp in a V8 engine!?!?!?!!? [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/033102ass_1_prv.gif[/img]
Current RS4 ever!

Yes, I thought this would depress me and it has.

How about.........

An RS4A non-turbo,wallowy suspension, annoying seat belt warning ding ding ding for America
and
An RS4 turbo and all we wish for Europe and the rest of the civilised world.

Next thing, we will need a visa and an armed guard to drive in one.
Standard RS4 (is it the only standard one left?)

yeah, they will take our fingerprints digitally before allowing us to buy a car... because the RS4 will be considered american territory... joking. had to say sth negative. [img]images/graemlins/rant.gif[/img]


anyway. CAnnot change things now. Let's wait and see how it looks, how it performs and how the big boss is living up to "beating the hell out of BMW". [img]images/graemlins/icon_lol.gif[/img]

beating the hell out of BMW
When a new M3 and a new M5 (presented in October) will be on the market Audi really has to fight, but without any turbos it'll be hard! [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Couldn't agree more.

If it look great, is as light as a feather with excellent brakes and chassis then that would make up a little for the absence of turbos.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]
