Some good news via Chris Harris' review of the RS4:

It's a better car than an RS5 though - whose chassis was quietly and successfully updated with these RS4 attributes earlier this year - because it is more practical and therefore will appeal to a wider audience.
That should address a lot of the complaints the Euro mags had about the RS5. I didn't mind the German-spec one I drove a couple years ago. If there are improvements, they should make it excellent.

Audi interiors are cheap? Have you been in many BMW's? My buddy's M5 makes my former A4 look like a Bentley. I don't know how they get away with selling those for so much...

To haku, congrats on surviving that crash. That was always my sportbike nightmare, a tight wooded road and a deer/bear.

Audi interiors are top notch, no question there. BMW generally wins on the driving experience, though, when classing up. BMW steering feel, brakes, suspension and weight distribution make for a much more driver-centric car IMO. That being said, I still like Audis, especially for snowy regions.
