Regardless of the ifs, ands, or buts.
It makes me feel good anyways.
Either way IMO ... Most German cars are way overpriced for what they are.
And then there's the cost of ownership in some cases.
Heck, you can buy an MR, get a highend stereo system, GPS, custom leather
interior, slight mods, a little show and shine and still come out thousands of dollars ahead and have a better car.
Just my 2 cents.

have any of you been inside an Audi RS4 ? the interior is amazing. It's fast,comfortable, luxury yet raceout ride. Some guy work in the next building next to my work drive one and he also have a Porsche GT. Damn he must be the boss.**** if i have the money i would buy it in a heart beat.

We don't get that steering wheel or those seats on the US version of the RS4.
It's a great car but it's not worth $70k, it's just not. That's 997 territory or clean used 996TT territory. And it's not that far off of the M5 either. The RS4 is supposed to compete with the M3 and C55 and it comes in waaaay too high in price.

Buy the Audi if you want that plushness tickling your nuts and have no desire to drive it hard and mod it. I wonder how much that car weighs..... has to be considerably higher than the Evo Im sure.
The Evo is by no stretch the be all end all. But for performance enthusiats, its purpose built, light, and designed to be raped on or off road....... and reasonably priced for what you get.

Most men in their 40's or 50's are not going to drive around in a car that is primarily owned by 20 somethings or spoiled college kids. That's why the MR is really not an alternative to this. Entirely different market.

FWIW, if I had that kind of money to spend on a single car, I would have given the RS4 very serious consideration.
