I guess the final product will look different and hopefully more agressive

they still try to disguise the RS5 as a normal S5 (see exhaust,badge,side skirts,fenders etc)

I just saw an "RS6" on the freeway...I don't know much about Audi but I thought we didn't get those here in the US?

The previous model was available in the US, but not the current one.

Exactly.

FWIW, the only current RS6 (and it's an Avant) I know of legally in the US is the President of Audi USA's personal car. I saw it at HBL getting it's PPI and a detail. It is so sick in person. It was black/black.

The Front is okay but the rear is boring, needs a bootlid spoiler, flared archeds, aggressive rear bumper with RS6 style exhaust.

Audi RS Avants are so great. Paul Walker had or has a silver 2003 RS6 Avant here in the States. Has the 19" 5-spoke Audi wheels, tint, and what looked to be a lowered suspension.

Front is nice, engine is probably nice, the rest is a failboat.
I'd take the M3. Probably similar performance, and it looks a lot better.
I hope this isn't the final version. This car has a LOT of potential.
Wheels from an RS6? They are of the ghey.
