S6 or RS5?

I am looking at both the 2014 RS5 and S6 as a daily driver for the most part and cannot decide which will be the best fit for me.
I live in the Utah mountians, so AWD is important. I currently have several pure performance cars ( GT3 RS , FORD GT , Z8 and a Ford Roush II Raptor truck) so, what would be the right choice if it were you.

Also, does anyone know of any changes to either of the models for 2014 in USA?
Thanks

The only Audi I've seen rumblings on for 2014 changes is the A4/S4. I don't suspect a major overhaul to any model until '15 or '16.

If I were in your shoes, I'd go with the S6 since it appears a sedan would work nicely with your current stable. The RS5 wins in the looks department but both are going to give you nice power, good handling and a very tuneable engine.

I'm leaning to the S6? But, still like the looks of the RS5 better as I have not seen an S6 set up that looks better? The c4s is nice but the rear seat is really non-useable.

There is a stunning 2013 s6 in a dark blue for sale on 6speed forums. You should take a look at it, looks better than any rs5 I have seen.

Everyone has their opinions, I have driven both, and have an RS5 on order. Depends on what your needs and wants are, I wanted something somewhat unique, fast, that could serve as a daily driver.

S6 very nice, just was not really in the market for a 4-door sedan per se personally.

Problem will likely be that you will not have an easy time finding an RS5 to drive before purchasing, as most are sold before they hit the dealer inventory and nobody wants their "ordered" car to be driven by anyone else.

Daily driver, I would pick an S6 because it makes more sense than an RS5

S7

I know it was not one of the choices, but I really dig it.
