This made me sad!

Because i know that we will never have anything to compete with this here in the US...what will happen when I enevitably pull up to a guy with one of these? Please Audi give us the new Avant!

Well, there's always this...

Except its ugly. Another MB with senseless torque on skinny rear tires.

[lswing]

Not too hot, and I wonder how many of our cars could take him, certainly in wet...

[vitalian]

I'm with Brav -- that MB wagon is really ugly.

[ben916]

and $500 oil changes - Fu¢k that!!!

[4everRS]

This makes me happy.

Just wait for the next rs6 with a tune. It will be incredible.

[bmwade]

I didn't say I liked the E63 either. I agree that it's quite hideous! I bet that is the rain a stock C5 could take it at any distance. That's why I hope that Audi decides to challenge the E63 estate and CTSV wagon! it's a joke that they don't!

[ttboost]

Nice try MB...NOT!!!

If they couldn't sell any E55 wagons, why would they build one of these monstrosity's?

[Aronis]

Well if that's the consensus here, then perhaps that car could be purchased for $75k? LOL....

The problem I have with MB that if you want all the nice extras (like Porsche) the price of the car practically doubles.

[Brav]

Yea, 100k car with crazy power, CHARGES EXTRA for LSD. Not even included in AMG "performance package." Should be standard..

If I still lived in Atlanta, or lived in LA, or Phoenix, or God's waiting room, A.K.A Florida, I wouldn't even consider an RS. But when you have to drive 35 miles down a snowy mountain pass and still want to run with the big dogs, there isn't a car I would rather own.

Serious? Liar. RS is not DEFINED by quattro.. its still way more sexy, rare, and awesome than an E63/E55 or M5. Could it be my ONLY car? probably not.

Serious?!! 58/42 weight distribution in a dry climate!!?? I would love this to be my only car, but in LA if I never drove in the snow, in the rain 10% of the time, this would not be my first choice. I love this car, but to say it is not a lot of work is well, lying!

If I wanted to go as fast, handle better, and have 1/10th the maintenance cost I would just drop a 650hp mod motor in my Kenny Brown Crown Vic. But as it stands, my Vic won't pull itself up the most modest incline in the rain without the back tire breaking loose and sliding sideways into the ditch!

leave, just get out! You're no longer welcome here! LOL but seriously I live in 'gods waiting room' and it rains like Seattle here. But I fell in love with Quattro when I lived in Texas where it doesn't rain or snow. I have an intense driving style and lesser cars have been know to loose grip mid corner, but never my Audi's! They may be nose heavy pigs, but they have great engines and great grip!

Agree 1000% except it could be my only car...well if I had an Avant it could!

[905084]

Ha! It never rains in Seattle! Wife and I were up for out 25th anniversary and our favorite place! Seriously I have had some good cars and I wouldn't trade the RS for any of them. Yea, they are work, but for the $$, I want another.
