RS4 in Piccadilly Showroom

Post by RS4ever » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:19 pm

There's a hideous blue RS4 in Audi's Piccadilly showroom for anyone who is interested. Then after you have seen it, you can go across the road for tea at the Ritz. :) You may need it to calm your nerves.

I can't find Hideous Blue in the colour chart????
I can remember Ford had Hulla-BaLUE a few years ago, is this what you are thinking of?
Given everything else with the car, this might be quite a suitable colour!

Sent the wife round to Mayfair Audi, but no RS of any description. Are we talking about B5 or B7? She presumed they had a B7 for viewing but they laughed and send come back next Spring. :?

That's what I presumed too. Wanted to see one in the metal, but when she asked about it they just scoffed "It's not even out yet, love."

Calling in myself today.

They do seem to employ a better class of dickhead in central London sales..........was in there a year ago and they kept refering to the RS4 which was parked outside as an A4. Once I heard that I decided I didnt want to get into the 'what will you give me for the RS against the 6+' issue :audibash: :assflash: :piss:

That can't be it, kcsun...

They don't often display used cars in the piccadilly showroom, besides no one could call that a 'hideous' blue... and it's a 6 of course and an RS4 owner would obviously know the difference! RS4ever, can you shed any light? Maybe it was an s4 or S line.

This is silly I know, but it's bugging me now... Have not had time to call in yet. Actually, let's just pretend it was an S4 and forget it, otherwise its going to wind me up.

Yep. it was an S4.

Definately.

Seeing this is the B7 forum, I presumed everyone would realise I was talking about the NEW B7 RS4 - not a second hand B5 RS4 :roll: .

And I said it was the Audi showroom opposite the Ritz in Piccadilly. NOT A DEALER

all that I know...

There is only one Audi anything opposite the Ritz, Its Mayfair Audi, and they are a dealer. As well as being the poncy 'Audi Forum' But thats all irrelevant, I'm just saying that when questioned about the RS4 in ANY shape or form at their premises, they told my missus that the isn't one here, there never has been one and wont be until september saloon/spring 2006. That's where the confusion lies...

Children!

Just called them and it is an S4 in the showroom and they do not expect the RS4 until August earliest.

He did seem a bit upset when I asked if he was a dealer but then you never know.....

Call them and give them something to do . Details below.


The Audi Forum in central London is situated on Piccadilly opposite The Ritz Hotel, on the corner of Berkeley Street. It is just a short walk from Green Park tube station.

Address: 74 - 75 Piccadilly, London, W1J 8HU
Telephone: 0207 318 2230
