Default So Automobile Mag has added an RS4 to their long term 4 seasons tests

What do you guys think? Do we get a fair shake in Automobile?

Don't know why they would have deleted the sunroof for more headroom, or not gotten the premium package to keep costs down and not make it a frou-frou lux sedan(their words). But I guess we'll see.
The article begins pretty skeptical but the first 2 log book entries sound promising(although they are within break-in)

I'm still at pissed at them over the 2007 All Stars... A G35!!! and of course a 3-series(335i)-last years Car of the year make the list but no RS4 in sight.<ul><li><a href="http://www.automobilemag.com/">http://www.automobilemag.com/</a</li></ul>

Default Automobile shouldn't be that bad,but if they review w/o sunroof and no PP, then that is messed up

that is afterall what the majority of people will have when they buy this car, so what is the value of their report without it?

IMHO, no sunroof is the only way to order a car.

Default Well sunroof or not is probably less of an issue, but to test w/o PP seems

that Automobile will not really be able to report on the full intentions of Audi with this car.

The sunroof is something that can go either way, that's true.

Default Agreed. Sunroof is less personal preference-and I would think you would delete due to

weight or to make the car more rigid on the track.
they did it for headroom.
Anyone with headroom issues?

Maybe with a helmet? although I think i'd have plenty in mine with the sunroof.

Yup, headroom sucks. Definitely no sunroof if I go RS4.

Having a sunroof was such a pleasure in NY today.
