Love it. BMW have been way off target for many years now designwise, but Audi are hitting the bullseye consistently. More pics here

That interior looks scrumptious.

RS5 sounds great on paper, but everything I've read, and I mean EVERYTHING, says this car is a disappointment. Can't believe they don't offer it with a manual transmission. Sad, because I was really seriously considering this car. Oh well.

Congrats on the RS4. I own a 2008 and have logged 150,000 + km's in the cold Canadian climate. I had the carbon done once at 135K km's - overblown issue with my car anyway. I haven't even done brakes. Oil change every 10K km's.
Best of luck with her in Cow Town. I will keep an eye out when I'm there on Monday!
Cheers,

Just did it on an S4 and it was pricy - however, RS4 may have different components (no idea) and when mine was opened up, everything except the tensioners were in great condition. Tensioners were toast and I elected to replace most of the timing components. I'd still go for an RS4 Avant in a heartbeat if they were available over here.

I drove one a few weeks ago and the only thing I didn't love was the steering. Too much initial resistance and quite dead. Which is too bad because the chassis felt decently alive and the engine sounds incredible. Double-clutch gearbox was brilliant and it looks great.
