Does the RS4 have Audi's magnetic ride system?  It's an option on the R8, IIRC...

^^^^You know, that's an OUTSTANDING idea.  There are some cars where you MUST upload a clip of the engine revving, and maybe an in-the-car clip running through the gears.

Wow... I've never been propositioned by women for driving a car I don't own... ;-)

Zombie: I believe the marker at 130 km/h has to do with that being the highway speed limit in some (most?) European countries. I know that's what the limit is on multi-lane highways in France.

Do car seats fit in the back?   Would it make a good family hauler?

They should make a special version for Canada, with a red hash at 150.

Does Audi plan on keeping the current pricing? BMW's M3 is just around the corner for about $20,000 less.

I'd have to agree with the sentiment here... though gorgeous, that price is a little dear.

Needless to say this is a beautiful in and out machine.

On the options side, shouldn't be Bluetooth and rear side airbags standard at this price point?
