Will be putting mine up for sale soon when I've got 5 mins to get it valeted and polished but still unsure of what to replace it with as the V8 will take some beating
for noise and a high revving engine.
Cant wait to see the new RS4 in the flesh as sure it will be a stunner but cant see me spending 70k+ for the B9.

I just think Audi are pricing themselves out of the market but sure there will be ques of orders for them no doubt.

maybe an RS6 performance model on ceramics when they dip in price will be my next move...

An RS6 PE is tempting me in at the moment. I see Broadspeed are offering them with £14k off at the moment, which makes a fairly boggo spec car very reasonably priced
I'll have a test of the new RS5 in the next couple of weeks, and work out from there if it's worth waiting for the RS4, or whether the RS6 would be a good car for a couple of years.
There's a new RSQ5 coming soon, and having really liked the SQ5 I had to use for a week, that could be an option too
