Default RS4 or New RS6

So, i can't order new rs4, dealers have few left selling around 74k.
I was going to wait till end of summer to buy one anyway but now with limited supply with all the colors available i want to get it right now.
Or i can wait for the rs6.
What do you guys think? Get the newer rs6 or rs4.....

Default After I got home from work tonight I walked around my RS4 which I had driven and......

actually said "what an awesome *&^%#ing vehicle. So much fun to drive and practical too.

I'd not think twice about it since you can have it NOW!!!!

Enjoy.

Default In fact, I have heard that the RS6 will *NOT* be coming stateside

I asked about the possibility putting down a deposit, and was told that Audi of America and Canada will not accept the minimum allotment of RS6's Audi requires them to take in order to make it happen.

Seems the previous RS6 didn't sell as well as hoped.

With gas prices going where they are, it's highly unlikely they will change their minds.

Huge bummer. It's an amazing vehicle.

Default RS4

Yeah they stopped taking order late last year. If the dealer doesn't have the color you want, they might be able to get it from another dealer for you.

OTOH, if you aren't sure, may be you should wait. I was 100% certain that this is the car I wanted. I didn't want to wait for the new M3 or anything else.

Default Yep everything I've been told has said NO RS6 for US

Price point would be too high and the cost to add it to the line up vs the limited sales don't make it worth it.
