Knew we could rely on you Dave.....

First Daytona car I've seen + titanium "rotor" alloys -- although I fear that they've been done to death on the lesser Audi models.

It would have to be the V-spokes for me.

I love the styling of the B8 RS4 and completely disagree with people who've said that it's "not aggressive enough"
-each to their own, but I expect that I will have one of these at some time or another?

DK, those arches in your photo look bigger than the C6's , is that the case? Might have hit a sweet spot with the squared arches on the RS4 me thinks...

One thing is for sure, the B8 RS 4 certainly looks the part. So much better than the E90 M3.

Hmmmm well these arches are more square, harsh edges, where as the B7s are smooth. I think the B7s are better, and thats not me being bias at all.

However these arches are still nice.
