Default RS5 is scheduled for production start Feb 2009 (edited for wrong year)

If we see it, it probably won't be until 2010.

Default Or more. The Model Rollout Schedule published in Quattro Quarterly does not show an B8-RS4

It shows:

B8-A4 - production start Sept 2007 (Ingolstadt, Changchun, Vogosca)

B8-A4 Avant - production start March 2008 (Ingolstadt, Changchun)

A4 Facelift - Production start Jan 2012 (Ingolstadt, Changchun)

At Neckarslum, it shows the following production dates:

Sept 2007 - C6 RS6

Sept 2008 - R8-V10

Feb 2009 - RS5

March 2009 - R8 Targa

June 2009 - A7 Coupe

August 2009 - TT-RS

June 2010 - D4-A8

Jan 2011 - A7 Cab

Jan 2011 - C7-A6

May 2011 - C7-A6 Avant


It looks to me like RS cars are scheduled through 2009, so a B8 RS4 would have to go into production late 2010/early 2011, right before the facelift in 2012.

There is also no B8 S4 in that list either... But I'm sure there's one coming

Default Audi does not seem to differentiate S from A in their lists.

TT-S seems to be an exception. Even in the Annual reports S-cars are not listed separately from A-cars, whereas R and RS are.

I'd love to see a B8 RS4, much more than an RS5, since I like the convenience of 4 doors.

Default If you constantly worry about the next model, you will never be happy.

By the car now for what it is. Models will always change. It's a fact of life.

Actually the thought of getting an 08 M3 has crossed my mind. But I can't stand the thought of paying a premum over msrp.
