The video cements for me the need for the car to be wearing the black optics pack. I may get flamed but looks far too ordinary without it.
This is simply epic..

Interesting.
He really doesn't like the B8. Though other reviews have said exactly the opposite.
Estoril looks good, but I'm still an alu man.

I don't blame him for not liking the B8, it doesn't look special and has a paucity of torque. It has too many settings and needs to be wringed within an inch of its capacity to have any fun which isn't particularly feasible on a regular basis in Britain if you value holding a driving license.

Maybe. I've seen a few C7s now and still can't make my mind up. Not sure I'd call the RS4 bland though. As for settings, they are the same! I kind of like wringing the naturally aspirated V8, you'll not get the same experience in the C7.

I'm jealous of you guys who will be getting one.
Me, I prefer power and torque on tap and not having to really wring it's neck.

Think I need to drive one, but as I can only have one car for the moment I need a family car that can do it all (and fast for when I'm by myself!) at the moment it's a c6 but am thinking come next spring maybe a c7 might be on the cards!
I like the b8 but out of the two, c7 just looks that bit more aggressive.

Ditto. But it is down to price, I wouldn't cough up 100k for one. 80k for the right car maybe.

Great report for the RS6. It needs to be epic, to rekindle the awesome & class leading C5 of its time.

This is what happens when you're respectful and drive/experience the car like it was designed without the silliness, powersliding it everywhere like it's a caterham...you actually connect with it's real-world usability
