Yes, I think you are right. Im not a fan of the plastics used in my old B7 Rs4 and the S5 interior plastics look similar, I would certainly miss the leather covered dash and doors of the 997.Originally Posted by Erik
At the moment im not convinced about the looks of the RS5, I need to see it in the flesh as it looks a bit lame in the pictures. Daytonna grey and black optics would look nice.
The 997 C4S mkII is a fantastic car and I would buy it tomorrow without considering any other options if I did not have 2 children and a dog... and I seems you are now in the same position.
You can fit the children but nothing else as luggages or stuff even for a short week end and this, to me at least, is to restrictive so the RS5 or equivalent (M3, C63, GT-R, etc.) is my world for choice (with big bias for RS5 for the time being).
If I would be you and since you already own this fantastic car, I would only consider a concrete switch if the RS5 meets all (objective) expectations all of us (enthusiastics) can reasonably hope for, with the right obviously to be quite demanding.
Just continue to enjoy your Porsche and wait for full infos, specs, and tests to really concretely feel what the RS5 can deliver to you (excepted more space).
All the best

I saw the car on tue, my wife on wed, test drive on fri and I signed on sat. Porsche has always been a strong attraction (started from my father when I was a child) and this was a great opportunity. The car is amaizing and the PSE noise fantastic.
Since I have an ML for the family it is finally a good combination. I might also keep my fiat 500 Abarth opening edition (bought after I sold the RS4).
Audi will always be a future choice but for now I am going to enjoy the flat 6...
By the way I fixed my RS5 test drive for next wed 21. I will cancel it for now...
I am very happy about my choice and will share it with you guys in due course.
I have been fighting all evening to win an auction on a car plate ending 911 :-)) and I succeded. It will be the final touch !
Cheers

it is a wise idea as if not you would have probably realised you had made a questionable choice. In the last two weeks I have had very close friends who have owned the RS4 V8 an,d have tried the RS5 and told me that it is rally miuch different and not only a small evolution. so now I am really desperate to get it for sure...
engien revs very quickly (much quicker than RS4 V8, never stop getting power till red line. Stronic is perfect. power is there now...Etc....
really hope you will not regret your choice

Absolutely no doubt ! And the power and sensations are there as well... As there is no doubt the RS5 is a great car. Each one with its own characteristics.
I do not cancel my test drive being afraid of have made a mistake but for being fair with my Audi dealer I know for more than 10y.
All in all I really needed to get something "new" and Porsche is a myth which I really want to experience. The drive I have had is more than enough to be thrilled by this car.
Hope you will accept me if few of us meet in the future ;-)
