RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.
B8/8.5 S4, D3 S8 or C7 S6, since I already have a P-car Try a 911 C4S if AWD is a must-have.911's are wonderfully live-able everyday sports cars; I put 10k miles on mine in 6 months with nary a complaint. Can't say the same for my RS6, I'm afraid.
Actually, first-gen R8's are starting to dip into the high 60's/low 70's... jussayin'

2003 Audi RS 6 quattro 5AT - sold
How about a Golf R 6 speed?

I want an S8, but forgetaboutit.....I want an RS7, but forgetaboutit.
So....if my RS6 does not survive it's surgery.......I have begun looking for a replacement.
As mentioned above the M2 is interesting...but there may be some BS 'over sticker' markup BS.......just like the very nice new Mustang GT350 I looked at but they wanted a $15,000 markup! I offered to buy it on the spot for sticker but no...They dropped the markup to 10k last week...LOL....
So yesterday I went to Audi of Oneonta. I drove the New A4...they really stepped things up on that line of cars, the engine is 2.0 L turbo 252hp/272fp much in line with the old 2.7 L S4 of old. The transmission is an s-tronic dual clutch 7 speed. B&O is 755 watts. The one I drove had the fancy virtual cockpit which is very nice. It's suspension is very good and the car is QUIET! The one I drove has the First Edition package which has vented seats but alas no massage seats are available. This is a possible 'next car' but the new S4 is still out there and to be seen.....No lease numbers are set up for the new A4 yet.
I drove an S3 (did not have the electromagnetic suspension but otherwise loaded), but it's very nice as well. It's a 2016 so it lacks the fancy electronic upgrades of the 2017 A4 but the power train is very nice. It has same engine as the Golf R but only available with the Auto transmission. The S3 would be a fun car...lease number was not that bad....was trying to get a better trade number on my A4 cab....
I drove an A3 convertible. The one I drove was the lower tier model, so it lacked power seats, etc, I was not that impressed over my current 08, nearly paid for second hand A4 cab, The A3 is 8 years newer with newer transmission, little more power, nav, etc....but not worth it at this point.
Just to mention this....I noted they had a nice blue loaded 2015 S5 coupe with black and silver sport seats, etc....and it has been lingering on their lot for more than a YEAR. I had noted it on their website about a year ago. I speculated on the s5 forum that I could not understand why the sports differential was an option in that model year? It's 750 bucks of something like that, maybe 1500, what ever, so the asked the salesman why the it has not sold? EXACTLY because it did not have the sports diff! LOL.....I am not sure it can be discounted enough to sell, I cannot image that someone would buy this "new" car who's warrantee is ticking away (one year down) and it's seals are sitting and getting ready to begin to weep......I was considering driving that but they would not lease it since it's a 2015....I am going to stick with warrantee period leases only.....

I hear the RS3 will be coming to the US in the next couple of years. A3 hatchback platform with the supercharged V6 currently available in the S4 and S5. That's my pick.

S3 is about 47 to 50 K, so the RS3 will be more like 60 to 65k.
