yes i am. FI is great, but a quick NA car like this would fit the bill. I think the S-tronic is the perfect tranny for this type of car.

For the same amount of money and time put into each car, it will always be slower. Having a lower price point in the S4 allows more funds to tune, adding that it has FI already, it's a win.

The RS5 already is only about 1 second or less faster on most tracks than the S4 - that's a narrow gap considering the price point, and what the car *should* be able to do.

At this point, no I wouldn't be interested. I'll be surprised if either come stateside.

RS3.... Turbo engine and a hatchback. That might tempt me... RS5, not so much. I'm done with V8's unless they're diesels.
