Replying to: dhamilton (Jun 06, 2006 6:02 am) Does VW and Audi attitude seem more for a race car rather than transporation with flair? Do Lotus, Noble and the other niche race cars have similar attitudes "Buy our car, go race, and don't bother us if it breaks"? |

Also an Edmunds editor suggested an RS4 would be an excellent day to day hauler. Wouldn't the RS4 be better suited for high speed cruising between cities (lux airplane on wheels)? |

small children due to smallish back seat. But then I'm not going to be hot rodding with my kids in the back. For say a couple and a dog? Yes, excellent. This car rips. Editor in chief Karl on this here website said he'd take lt over the M5 if given a choice right now. As far a as attitude, I don't know if that is their attitude but it would be hard for them to justify that thinking while putting out luxury models like the A8, A6,Q7. |

How did Audi do this time around in the '06 report? Their parent, VW, was third....from the bottom, and worse than in '05. |

..Audi came in below average. 130 defects per 100 cars. For comparison: Saturn 129, Merceces 139, VW 171 (3rd from bottom), Porsche 91, Lexus 93, Cadillac 117, BMW 142, Chevrolet 124 (industry average)

Replying to: esf (Jun 12, 2006 10:15 am) The main emphasis on 'em is drivability, especially on the Nürburgring (when do we get a Nürburgring freeway system here? Does Audi know something we don't know?  ) Edmunds' new review was very positive about the RS4 as a drivers car, BTW. And Audi deserves praise for accomplishing a decent ride with those huge wheels and 35 profile tires! Detriot 3+Dubbers must be green with envy over that! |

Replying to: dhamilton (Jun 05, 2006 12:33 pm) . I was surprised they tossed the keys to people without any instruction or a passenger instructor. Id guess my fastest lap was in the hardtop TT with a close second being the A3 2.0T. At least it "felt" quicker than the A3 3.2Q. DL |

Can anyone speculate why Audi still does not post the weight and weight distribution of the RS4 on the Audi USA site? I just do not see why this information is so hard to find. Also, I read a story saying they will only make 1000/year or that might have been 1000/year to the USA. Is Audi that unsure of itself? Maybe they are just trying to let the dealers gouge customers.

Replying to: jim2727 (Jun 16, 2006 8:07 am) The RS4 is a very special car. It's made in a totally different production line than regular A4's. The car is actually made by the Quattro GmBH team. Basically the same people that make a large portion of the Gallardo for Lamborghini. Audi is not unsure of itself. If you know anything about high end cars like the RS4, you would know that low production numbers make the car more special. They're harder to get, if you have one...you're special, and it increases the resale value and mystique of the car.
