Will try to sell!

Spoke to my dealer yesterday about that. Official price is £95k coupe, £99k vert. Add a few options you are looking at £110k.

I'm hoping second hand prices will plummet like the old one and love a vert for the mrs!

You want to look at 911 prices. Back in 09 I specced up a new C4S it came to 78K, the 4s is traditionally around 4k more expensive so the same C2s would have been around 74k, you are now looking at 90k minimum for a C2s!!
I hope Audi dont get too greedy and start the list price at 60K plus! 55k would be ideal, you could hopefully get a decent spec car for 60k. M3 logic says that coupe are more expensive than saloons but with Audi not bringing a saloon to market it could go the other way. I think the C63 estate is slightly more expensive than the saloon.

93k, the new Turbo will be 100k, i would opt for the Turbo. M6 will depreciate as fast as last years laptop. If i wanted a GT car, i would choose the Maserati Granturismo S, that noise and looks are to die for.

Easy to clean and wax too - you can actually get your hands between the spokes.

This.

The 265 section rubber is an interesting choice too. That's not a common tyre width and only a few brands pitch up with circles in those dimensions.

What makes you think I haven't already got Mono's P_G? Have you not seen my wheels?
My point was that the new RS4 wheels look good and the spokes are particularly elegant and thin. Way thinner than anything else Audi has done before, which, indecently, is out of sorts on such a chunky car as the B8 RS4.

It's a "no" from me. S-Tronic only and it's too big. The B7 handled like a smaller car...my experience of 6 months in an S4 was that it was a big car to chuck about.

The harks back to the "original" RS6. Just big and fast in a staright line.

The pricing will be RS5 territory - Got to be £65k fully loaded...
