I own an S4 so im speaking from a position of knowledge as well. I’d definitely be interested in a new RS4 when it comes out. One of the reasons im keeping my miles low so I can get the most of out inevitable tradein

It’s already viable, they use an inline-5 in the new RS3

In terms of power definitely, handling on extreme roads/track courses, not as much. They are different groups of high performance cars geared towards different buyers who sometimes cross shop

That may be reaching, i don’t expect the RS4 to beat even the new M3 in terms of handling dynamics, but it hopefully won’t be too bad with the active rear sport diff

As a current S4 owner (2014) i look forward to what they announce in the final specs. The V6 twin turbo makes sense in accordance to all the displacement downsizing. I don’t mind unlike some ppl who whine about the demise of the high revving V8 and NA exhaust. Give me easy tunability and gobs of low range torque any…

Ha I was going to post exactly that!

I’ve solved that issue by longer driving my own car into NYC when I visit, i either fly or take the train in and use public transport like the other 5 million ppl who live there

Doug you need to roadtrip this car to Cincinnati and take a photo of the car in front of a Skyline Chili joint :

Yep that guy is a grade A asshole

Luckily the public parking garages in Los Angeles are much bettee, because it’s such a car culture here and everyone obsesses over their cars, even beaters. People would lose their shit if they think a garage attendant mishandled their vehicles.

They obviously don’t, to them their cars are just something they use, abuse and replace. No different than ppl who mishandle their phones and keep using them w cracked screens & broken buttons.

Because NYC is a city full of assholes who don’t care what you think.

People backing out of parking spots and you’re stuck waiting to pass by or pull in to take their spot, they barely back their cars out with a full car length & a half behind them before they stop short worried they are going to hit parked cars nowhere close to them

That’s why NYers with cars often put those front and rear rubber bumper covers on their cars, esp if they’re nice.

That’s ‘Murican aftermarket tuning for ya!

And yet the i3 sells incredibly well around here (in LA) due to great EV charging infrastructure and all the carpool lane benefits

And given thE head-scratching number of X6 type crossovers I see on the road around here. .. They will definitely sell

I got to drive my friend’s 2012 GT-R about 25-30 miles theu the canyon mountain roads of Malibu and cruising up the PCH.

Google ‘Nemo’ = Latin for ‘No One’

Nah, im a non-entity on the Internet, so I can’t be THIS guy or THAT
