They have a lot of great stuff to say about the car including that it is Audi's best handling car ever. They don't attempt to pick a real winner although the Porsche gets the nod on the track as it should. Decent article IMO.

Default Yeah I got it tonight from CVS...

As you said, they did a good job with the article.

I think they are right in chosing not to pick a winner, I have not driven the C4S, but it would appear obvious that both cars strive for different goals.

I have no qualms with their results, it's obviously a great honor for a 4 door sedan to be compared to a Carerra. When I show the cover to friends, they are blown away by the comparison.

Now if you just made the comparison in conversation, the average person would probably balk at the notion.

Default The hard copy of EuroTuner is the best I've seen, it covers the RS4 and

goes into the history of all the RS models and does a write up on each one. The road and track was nice if you want to assure your self that your RS4 is as good as the 911.

Default did anyone read motor trend article

barnes and noble has motor trend and R&amp;T.
btw the motor trend article has tons of mistakes. they say that RS4 has cooled front seats(it doesnt) , that it carries over the DRC from the S4 (S4 desnt have this), and that it has quad exhausts (which it doesn't). Clearly they shold have the person who drove the thing either write the article, or get a better pair of glasses.

I had a layover at Houston airport, one of the magazine shops. The issue is June 2006.
