How about asking that AOA dude about the failed MTM Used B7 RS4 Avant import attempt?

That is the one thing I don't like about my very unique S4 Avant. It's powered by hamsters.

Yeah - I'll call him up (I pulled a Jox and swapped numbers with a dude)... He told me about the RS5, so I'll tell him we need the next RS Avants. No guarantees.

Thanks for the post Chris. I'm still in two minds about the RS5... Did your AoA contact have much else to say about the RS5 vs the TTRS?

I asked him a lot about the RS5. He insists that the fender flares are very noticeable in person. He ranked it in the top 5 cars he's driven in his life (and he's driven ALL the good Audi stuff plus who knows what else). I'd put my RS4 in my top 3 ever, so we'll see.

BTW, my buddy Larry (Tron here on TS) snapped this pic today - this is likely the car I'll drive...

Pah... I'd only buy one if I got another manual sports car AND an RS5 as a DD. I wouldn't rule that out, but that lotto ticket better come in soon.

Chris I'd love to hear your review about the RS5 when you get to drive one especially because of your love for the RS4 I'd love to hear someone compare them. The TT-RS sounds amazing. I drove a TT-S a few months ago and that thing was pretty fun.

Will do. If/when I get to drive the RS5, I'll post pics and my impressions. I need to call my contact when I get back to DC.

Thanks Chris. Yup your review will play a huge part on whether I go ahead with my planned purchase of the RS5. I really love the S5 I have for my DD but will be changing it for something else next year hence the RS5. Thanks for your input matey.
