Default US RS4 press announcement next week

Just got a response from AoA on trying to take European delivery of a US spec RS4. Instead of the standard "Audi doesn't offer Euro delivery" I got...

Dear Michael;

We do not offer European Delivery, however we are expecting an announcement regarding the RS4 soon. Please check back with us in about a week.

Thanks

What do you think? Is this for real or are they just blowing smoke up my ***?

Default I think my S4 modifications will stop at a chip, tires and simple stereo upgrades

Maybe 18 months with the S4, then an RS4?! 8^)

Default I think its the avant they are talking about.....more

remember how everytime someone calls AOA and asks about the avant S4, they say the RS4? I think the announcement is going to be for the avant and not really the RS4. As far as I know, the RS4 is all sold out in Europe.

Default Strange timing

The timing seems strange to me. AoA has usually -- at least in the past 3 years -- made major product announcements in conjunction with auto shows. The next major U.S. auto show is NY in April. I can't imagine some major announcement just coming out of the blue in mid-March.

Realistically I would expect that they'll announce the S4 Avant for the U.S. at the NY show. Maybe the S6 sedan?
