Not as pretty / aggressive though. The RS4 looks much better IMO. Even the C6 S6 looks better than the RS6 for some bizarre reason I can't put my finger on. All my own opinions, of course :thumbs:

I quite like the Jag XF-R.

I swapped my C5 RS6 for a C6 version 3 months ago. I really miss that V8 growl, but realised what a car it is when I picked it up at the Airport last week after a week away from my baby. I had a drag with my old one and it left it in a cloud of dust

If anything, I'll go backwards, I've been lusting over B5 RS4s the last couple of weeks, love 'em. They look like real dark horses and have so much potential, they can be wound up tighter than a virgin's daughter. I had my heart set on the RS5 being special but by first reports, it isn't. For a full-size replacement; a C6 RS it is then, but it'll have to get a lot prettier with age or the quandary will remain... not that I'll ever get rid of the C5.

Exactly what he said. Except that a C6 almost certainly not.

The C6 is the only logical move I guess.........I've driven a couple, very nice but a little bland really and therefore I still have my C5 Plus and just don't want to change it. I only wish it had 100,000 less miles on it!

Going retro could be intetresting as well, I still think the RS2 was the most excing Audi I've ever had.

Surely it's getting harder and harder to find paper roads these days, ne?
