Gorgeous car. Wished they upped the power closer to the RS6's output though.

It is a lovely car. However, if I were in the market for a fast coupe, I'd buy an M6 or an Aston Martin DBS.

I've driven a few Audi RS Series cars, and I've always felt they lack feel for the driver. I looked at an RS4 about 3 years ago, and the Audi dealer had let me have the car for 24 hour test drive. No joke here guys, I took it back after 5 hours! I wanted back in the E46 M I had at the time!

I don't think I'd ever get an Audi personally. They are beautiful cars, and very well made and reliable etc, but they're missing that "X" factor for me!
