In fact I've just bought an A8 and he said don't bother with the deposit just pay for it all on one bankers draft, if a dealer had my money for over year I'd ask him to knock the interest off the price as well.
Seem`s youve got a very nice dealership.... maybe you could ask them to put my name down for a RS3? Just incase my dealer lets me down.

Yes. That's the bit that has my juices flowing. I think the S-Line looks good, but another 'wideboy' would be fantastic

Sorry,but what i have heard about engine/performance so far does not impresse me one bit!
When the RS4 came out it had a big bhp increase over the RS2.

This coupled with a price tag that may be in excess of 55k when specd and rumours of an auto box only then the current RS4 might well be the better choice.

Also i doubt if Audi will make it in limited numbers,we could see another RS6 situation,when dealers were openly stating that the car was way over priced when new,this reflected in second hand prices even with Audi uk trying to keep prices inflated.

Roll on March 2005 till we finaly get concrete info!!!

My dealer was also at the Germany viewing and said the same comments Jon made. "A monster" "hardcore" "massive wheels" "wide" "big arches" "gorgeous" and "incredible" were all phrases he used.

I am at the top of my dealers list for the new RS4 and have been for months. No deposit as I have bought plenty of Audis from the same dealer. My dealer is telling me to expect delivery in about June 05.

Again Saloon first then Avant.

He did say that the car he saw gave no clues away about the engine as he was told it was a preview of the bodyshell and wheels only.

But he did see 4 tailpipes with his own eyes.

Bring on the Nogaro Avant beast!

4 tail pipes ! Oh dear

Do we really have to follow BMW, because if we do, BMW drivers will start buying RS4's

Really pleased Saloon is first. It gives us purists time to see whether it will be any good before taking delivery of our Avants.

I think an RS246 contingent should attend and report back on the news. I'd defo like to go if the RS4 will be there.

When the new RS4 gets officially leaked, the internet is going to be busy!

This car has been a long time coming/discussing

RS3 is still unconfirmed, and as quattro GmbH only has the ability to produce a limited number of cars, I wouls imagine that news will appear towards the end of the RS4 run.
