Default RS6...but only if it was new or CPO...

I love the B6 S4, but I need a bit more room for the back seat.

Default Neither (not much help, I'm afraid). RS6 has turbos, B6 S4 too small in back.

Besides, I'm waiting for a 400hp NA S6 Avant with DSG (maybe it'll happen around '06 or '07....)

RS6, -if money is no factor (ie- can afford to fix)

Default S4 and put $15,000 in the bank!

Seriously, if they were the same price, I'd buy the RS6 simply because it is such a unique and rare car.

But they are not the same price, even if you are comparing a used RS6 to a new S4. I could see myself stretching to pay $50K for an S4, but I could not justify another $15-20,000 for a USED RS6.

The car that intrigues me is the upcoming A4 3.2 with a six-speed manual. A good, non-turbo, AWD car with 250HP.

Both, but if I had to give one up, it would be, without ANY hesitation, the S4.

S4, only because of manual tranny.
