Re: Car is far from an RS4 considering the use of aluminum
Absolutely. Of course, every Audi has things in common. So one could make statements about the S3 and the R8. But why? It really comes down to whether you have $$ to buy an R8, RS4, S3, etc. I would guess most folks with the $$ would go for the R8. At the RS4 and above price levels, it's no longer a question of bang for the buck...

Agreed
I heard from a friend of mine in product planning, that there was an internal memo from one of the VPs of marketing for Lamborghini. They were concerned about the R8 slashing Gallardo sales. That is why the 4.2 debuts first and ten comes later, but alas it will still be the FSI 5.2 not 5.4/5.6 variation. I think the 4.2 FSI will still be the best balanced of the two.
Why is that car already in that showroom though???
