Default I think Audi is dumb with the RS line of cars, it cheapens the S series cars, let me explain

When car companies offer a sport line of cars such as AMG, M, Type R, TRD..etc, those should be the top of their performance line. WHy does audi make cars like the S4 so underpowered, then come out with the RS4? Imagine that engine in our S4's? If the RS models are the real performers, than who wants the S models? I would rather they label our cars the A4 2.7t, and the S4 would be the 375 bhp RS4 engine.

I just think Audi is going to release all of the goodies in Europe, then slowly bring them over here. But why isn't the RS4 coming to america? All of its competition is already here: 911, M5, E55, M3. So if Audi wants the enthusiasts to stay with them, they most give us something to aspire to.

Default Good point.

<center><img src="http://www.audizone.co.uk/awaniamgif.gif"></center><p>I don't know why Audi ain't bringin' the RS4 to the US. You lot are the biggest car enthusiasts in the world! You love your cars and I think Audi should really consider selling some in America.

Also the S4 is very underpowered compared to the RS4 and the RS only costs (in UK) about £9k more considering the extra power, grunt, looks and features.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizone.co.uk">me and my damned site</a></li></ul>

Default it's not coming here,becuase it was a one-shot deal!!!

it was meant to keep Audi in the spotlight until the new A4 cmae out. I bet there is NO 2001 RS4.

should be intereting to see what the 3.0T will be like. K-16 turbos and ported heads? hmmmmm
