It was hard to look at those pictures. You should post your vin number so no one ends up buying it for a low price on eBay.
There are plenty of white RS4 here - look at the registry: http://www.stahmann-motorsports.com/...4_VIN_List.htm
BTW is your car on the list?

- The reason there's no B8 S4 Avant in North America? AMERICANS WON'T BUY THEM
- The reason there are hardly any manuals available across the model line? AMERICANS WON'T BUY THEM
- The reason there is no 260-300hp hatchback S3/RS3 available in North America? AMERICANS WON'T BUY THEM
If you guys want Audi to bring these cars here, you'd better talk to the rest of your American friends and get them to give up their automatic transmission love, and their gigantic SUVs because otherwise nothing will change. Audi isn't running a car club for gearheads...they're running a business.
So, if you guys are angry at Audi for these model omissions, re-direct that anger to your own people!

RS's don't sell in the USA because they're too little too late. By the time the Rs's are released here, they're three years behind comparable cars. Sure they're exclusive, but they're no performance icon anymore. Very few buyers will spend the big bucks for exclusivity alone.

Elevens is absolutely correct! Our RS 4's were the fastest sport sedan because it came out before the newer M3, AMG and IS F (which was a new model).

everyone complains there is no s3, yet hardly anyone was willing to pay for the 3.2q version which topped out around ~44k iirc, yet youre telling me they will pony up for a $50k plus s3? not happening.
