[armytdi]

got the possibility of being posted to germany later this year, and as a perk can get a tax free car, thinking about the above, does anyone know UK release date?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/comeon.gif

AFAIK you're it's going to be at least October before the real RS4 turns up in UK showrooms..........

But knowing Audi it'll be Jan 07............ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

that colud be good, as i´m due to move aug7sept and may be able to get a RHD thru Audi Germany earlier

 

[armytdi]

any idea of a rough price anyone- £52k ??

 

[Merlot]

Approx £55k with the required sat nav and a few extra toys.

 

[armytdi]

that could be about 46k for a tax free export then- sweet

OK, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/noidea.gifsomeone knows about RS4 Avant - any more on RS4 Cabriolet??? Will tiptronic been an option?

 

[AndyMac]

I very much doubt they'll do one, you very rarely get the highest performance spec on a cabrio and the current one is the old shape, so you'd have to wait for a new shape cabrio (which again I doubt they'll do) and by then the RS4 will be discontinued anyway.

The RS4 Cab is being shown at Geneva and has a UK launch of Sept.

But there will not be an Auto box on any RS4.
