Default more space and just to try something different........

while we may all quibble about the particulars of high-end cars, in the end, all these cars....RS, AMG, M are all top performers. Really can't go wrong.

I totally agree. Sometimes this marque bashing just gets old....

Default It is not a reflection of the quality of the RS4, just a bigger car. However,

I talked with the wife last night and am thinking that if I can lease a cheap A6 3.2 and keep the RS4 as a toy I may do it. Already called the Audi dealership and they are going to call me back and tell me what I can lease one for 36 months for. Should know by the end of the weekend.

I would pick up a bullet proof C5 A6 4.2 for like 13k and be done with it.

Good idea, but I would rather have a car with warranty. Gotten burned on them without.

Default it's been 2 years since RS4's were first delivered here. People just want to move on...

and try something different. What's the big deal? E63, C63, M3, M5, Pcar, whatever. They're all great cars in different ways.

Who gives a **** about brand loyalty anyway? That's just foolish... unless you buy Audi stock or something. People buy cars to make themselves happy, and some get the new car itch more often than others. Simple as that.

Can loyalty be to only one brand at a time?

Warranties are overrated...esp audis... I agree with the idea of a C5 A6, saves you a ton of money..

Default even if I could trade my RS4 with 20k miles for a new E63, straight up, I wouldn't do it.

I drove an E63 a couple of months ago. Nice car, but that traction control kicking in all the time would drive me nuts. If if you turn it off all the time, best case scenario your rear tires will last 5k miles. Worst case scenario, you wrap the car around a tree.
