Having just sold the RS4, I'm sniffing at other wheeled creatures... M5 manual (if it can be de-wormed electronically/traction)...black Z06 (I don't even like corvettes!) I'm rabid!

Default Easy...

Three words.

It's a Chevy!

Seriously, I cross-shopped the RS4 vs. the Z06 - no doubt the engine is awesome, as are the performance numbers, but the interior fit, finish and feel just don't make the grade for a $70K car. It screams Impala.

I could own a WRX or an EVO easier than the 'vette.

I haven't driven the car, but the time I spent looking at it (thoroughly) left me underwhelmed.

That, and the fact that it has become the poster-car for male mid-life crisis leave it pretty low on my list.

No offense meant to bowtie fans...

Default Didn't you know that before purchase? Perhaps you're super rich and can

afford losing money on cars frequently, if so why seek internet advise...just buy them all and sort it out later...seriously.

Default You are killing me. All the mods you put into the RS4 and now it's gone...

I can help you out if you have too much money to spend on cars, really. I would be more than happy to take from you some money to buy myself a Cayman S. Couldn't you write it off as a charity expense or something like it.Come on make my day, make my year why don't you?

Why not buy a CGT or something wild like that.
