nice wheels, but does it justify the extra 20 grand?
I personally don't think so.
If I were to upgrade, I would rather go with an M5, C4S, or a GT3...
For me that would be an upgrade, otherwise I will stick with my S4.

Sorry, just my opinion, even if it might count much in your view....

good for you.

Clearly it doesn't count in Bob's view..hehe

The RS4 is a great car. Is it worth $20K more than an S4? Well, if it means you can't feed your kids, then no. If you have the money to spend on a car, then yes. I have driven lots of Audi's and the RS4 is the best.

As far as your choices go: M5 - can't be driven year round where I live and it is ugly, C4S - not even a small child can fit in the back seat and no performance improvement over the RS4, GT3 - a little too raw for a daily driver. So, that reveals my criteria: AWD, daily driver, drivable in snow/ice, four doors, subtle, good power.

I realize not everyone will agree with my opinion.

the M5 doesn't justify 40K more. and the porsches are 2 door cars.

then again. everything around here is opinion. and looked at logically there is no real reason to spend over 25K on any car either.

That's exactly what I was saying in another thread.

It's not about the wheels

Thats why they make different kinds of cars. If we all liked the same thing, there would only be a limited variety of cars out there.

Not sure how you'd drive a broken in RS4. You certainly never get to test drive a broken in anything.

And the RS4s are so new, who actually has broken theirs in now?

I don't disagree with the rest of your post though.

...you can't justify spending 20K more on a car that seriously outperforms the S4 for $20K more, but you're willing to spend $30-50K more for other cars that do so, arguably better performers than the RS4 in many ways, depending on your goals/tolerances...

M5: bad design. sorry. it is. inside and out. i respect its abilities, just can't warm up. really tried. (no offense larry, let me borrow yours for a week and maybe i'll change my mind ;-)

C4S: great car. totally different. not really comparable. and way more expensive than RS4. good daily driver tho.

GT3: great car. totally different. not really comparable. and way more expensive than RS4. not a good daily driver.
