I don't know that it is...and I wasn't necessarily implying I liked a 2013 RS4. Just that I liked RS4s. I believe the one at work is of 2008 vintage. Sorry, wasn't trying to confuse anyone.
In the past, the S4 was competitive with the M3 and AMG C class. That's changed a bit though as the S4 now competes with the 335i and top range C (Not AMG). The RS4 is the M3 and C63 competitor these days.
Nice car, OP. This is the best looking A4 chassis yet, IMO. I am curious as to how the supercharged V6 is in these, I've heard great things.
If anyone has 10 minutes to burn. This guy races a stock s4 (avant) vs a 2013 RS4 (we dont have these in US), then chips his car and races them again. Pretty sweet. Plus his 09-12 S4 doesnt have launch control, the new 2013 does.
The RS5, from what I understand is due out this summer in North America. That is supposed to be the new M3 competition or something.. Meh. I like the S4 far better (4 doors > 2 door). Anyhow, this new RS5 is supposed to have a 450hp v8.
And the windows are already tinted. Darker = looks like shit.
