Default RS4 or the new RS5?

It looks like no more special orders for RS4, so what do u guys think about the rs5 when comparing it to the new RS5?
It does have this more modern looks --- show off look....more power, less room...etc..
should i wait for the RS5 / i wish RS5 could be offered in sedan (4 door)

Default RS5 isn't even a confirmed car at this point. Not even a credible rumor

or spy shot yet, or anything suggesting existence for that matter. So either you need a car now, or you can wait 2+ years, because that's probably the likelihood right now. And a 4 door RS5 will be known as an RS4.

Default Go to your local Audi dealership and speak with them about current and future Audi's...

RS4 is done...for now
No information on the RS5...yet

If you don't need a manual, look into the S6...4 doors & a V10

Default I'm kind of having the same thoughts.

I'm hoping to be ready to move up to either a CPO'd RS4 or an S5 in a year or so, but I'm struggling with the size of the S5. Frankly the B7 is even big for me (no kids on the horizon, mostly just drive my girlfriend and myself around) but I want something nice so I don't want to get anything much smaller. The two doors in the S5 make a lot of sense for me, but it's just big-ish. If I had more money I'd keep the Avant and get a used Cayman S, but that's not terribly realistic at this point, so I need an AWD daily-driver that's also fun. And I found the B7 S4 utterly boring to drive, so that's out as well.

Default I have to chuckle a little at the thought of visiting a dealership for information on future cars.

With very few exceptions, most of the dealership personnel I've interacted with just feed a trough of b.s. to get you into something on the lot today, and to hell with you wanting to think through the purchase. Granted, they make their money on selling you a car today and not 2 years from now, but still...

I've always found these forums and the internet in general to be a far more reliable and unbiased source of info. I've lost track of how many conversations I've had with salespeople (Audi and other brands) where I mentioned something about a product that they sold that they knew nothing about.

Just sayin...

Default I agree, most dealers don't know a thing about..well anything....

But, for his purposes I don't think that will make a difference.
