Default Should I get an S5 or wait for an RS5??

I am thinking about trading my car for either an '11 S5 or just wait a bit longer and get the RS5. What would you recommend? It would possibly be a prestige S5 or a premium plus RS5.

How much you all think I could get or my 08 3.2 Tip Black/Cinnamon Milano full equipped and in excellent condition in and out at 36k?

Thanks

Just my $.02 but I would wait. If I could go RS, I would.

...plus, I have a hunch the new 2012 models will have a new body style. Who knows, you might want a new S5 then.

Since you already have an A5 to drive in the meanwhile, wait for the RS.

If you are prepared to spend the $$$ and have the patience, the answer should be obvious

I understand where he's coming from though... if he buys the RS5, then the B9 S5 will be released not too long after that. I really hate how they do that crap. I'd be driving an RS5 if they didn't do that. This just always goes back to the FAQ that everyone asks themselves... just get what you want... and not what other people think.

I've tried the S5 back when i was on the Netherlands for vacation last year, never the RS5 but if the RS5 is better than S5 i would wait and get the RS5 because if at least is as good as the S5 or even better then is worth the trouble to wait.

From an article by an Audi exec, the B9 A5/S5 should lose a few hundred pounds and be released in 2014.
