Default 2017 Audi S5 vs. 2016 RS4 (Sedan for USA)

Just got word from my Audi sales rep that there won't be a 2016 RS5 but there will be a 2016 RS4 sedan.

The German Audi website does not have an RS4 or RS5 either. I'm sure the RS4 will be redesigned. Saw the concept (Blue 2016 RS4 below)
I saw the new TT and its grill and front form, and it looks like a baby R8 from the front, and still TT from the back.
Audi's going to use some of the TT design on the other new Audis including the 12 inch screen virtual cockpit.
I just saw a concept design that says "2017 Audi S5" in yellow

I'm waiting to compare the 2016 RS4 and 2017 S5 .. looks exciting. What will you choose?

The yellow looks good.

Looks great to me.

A license plate would spoil it.

The 2017 S4 was announced at the Frankfurt AS. A bit more HP and torque, however the big news is no more manual transmission. It will be an 8 speed tiptronic. I expect the same powertrain in the 2017 S5.

I saw the new S4 video with 350 something HP and 368 lbs of torque rated 4.7 seconds 0-60.
