Favourite RS4 variant - now I'm curious

Hi guys,

New to this group and very curious to know which way would you guys go if given a choice (and availability) ... forget practicality, just want sexiest

avant. easy.

when looking at the 3 cars side by side, the sedan just doesn't look like a 180k car (NZD pricing, about 150k USD) whereas the avant for some reason, does.

the handling of the sedan v. avant is negligible.

the convertible shouldn't even be in the list. what a joke.

The convertible is a poseur's car...

I love the sedan (obviously since I own one), but the Avant would have been my first choice. Audi just does wagons properly.

No fan of the convertible either.

I looked at both but find the sedan suprisingly practical. Didn't need the extra luggage space anyway but it's a gloriously good looking car. The roof line of the avant is perfect, but comparing the two side by side, I think the sedan looks slightly, slightly more muscular.

Maybe it's the flared wheel arches disappearing a little on the avant.
A de-badged sedan is a nice little sleeper too though..

I love Audi's avants, as for the RS4 the cabriolet is disgusting.

They're all great - but if I'm forced to choose I'm picking the sedan.

can you guys in america spec the GMBH suspension kit? lowers the car all around on diff. suspension to the standard. can be ordered here. my business partner has it on his (avus silver? the orignal rs4 color) wagon, its alot lower and alot more aggressive looking. looks low and mean, like its squating down.
