Dissapointed with Audi RS offerings

Post by marrog08 » Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:22 pm

Is it me or has the Audi RS world gone mad? I had an RS5 and loved the styling and then an RS4 and loved the styling and now there's crap styling crap wheel design and small engines with fake sound, I seriously think its time to look at other manufacturers and I never thought I would say that! I am seriously disappointed with the Audi offerings

The Alfa quattroformagio is 2.9 TT V6 and far from meh. Just Audi who've lost the plot.

Yep, they've developed a bad halibut of making underwhelming cars.

Maybe not, but check out the reviews, it's the best of the lot.

Not as though the RS5 is pleasing to the eye, it's pretty gopping.

Small engines? The first rs's were small displacement with turbo's.

Of course, but after that wonderful V8, it feels like a bit of a bed wetting episode.

Had a drive in the Alpha yesterday.
It feels so much faster than my RS4 (now gone). Doesn't sound as good and the fit and finish isnt as good but it looks great and performance for your money, it's cheap. Also 6% off list is quite a temptation. Certainly a contender and if by all accounts the new RS4 is going to be the same sort of price as the 5, I know what I will be buying.
