According to autoweek.

The reason there is no rs4 in NA is the plan to expand the RS5 lineup.

Including the RS5 sport back!!!

"Audi hasn't provided any details about a possible North American introduction, although indications are that the RS4 Avant will not be sold here.

Audi's decision to produce the new RS4 in Avant (wagon) form only stems from an earlier decision to expand the RS5 beyond the single coupe model offered today. Insiders say the RS5 cabriolet and sportback models are to be in Audi's North American lineup before the end of 2012--the latter set to take the position of the earlier RS4 sedan by way of its four-door layout."

ayap

Another rumor. According to my dealer, they are bringing in the S5 Sportsback, and now the RS5 Sportsback ??? hmmmm. Got to see it to believe it.

Audi has been dragging to bring the RS5 and I don't know when they will bring the Cab and Sportsback. Still very skeptical.

It just a damn shame that Audi has not brought the S4 Wagon, which would have been enough - no need for an RS for a hauler with a premium price tag.

iconoclast

s5 sportback or s4 avant are instant purchases for me... bring them here and i would buy one.
