Default Possibly...depends on a few things...

- If it was reasonably priced as an option
- Had similar (or better) performance than the MT

If the RS4 wasn't my daily driver then I'd just get the MT, but assuming I don't win the lottery next week I suspect that if the RS4 is my next car it will be used daily.

Default Could it come with a pony, too?

I think you're stacking the deck a bit by adding an extra gear, launch control, and improved acceleration.

Default yeah, i guess I am stackinga bit

that is the only way I would option for it...but this is realistic though. The rumor is that all VW/Audi DSG transmissions will be 7 speed. The transverse DSG6 has launch control so why wouldn't the longitudinal version?

Quicker shifting and an extra gear over the MT6 could lead to shaving a couple 1/10 s off of acceleration times.

Nope, but I would pay $1,500 for an Avant.
