My dealer said he's intent on making it happen but it's hard to ignore the £6k negative equity.
Wow, I’ll have some serious equity in mine after four years then as the guaranteed value was like £28k for mine!

I'm hoping they set the bar low so it's worth more like last time. Meh. I don't care. Let's see what he can do in the coming months as everyone trades on their B8.

. Wonder how quick these B9s will depreciate.
I think my 3 day test drive is a go, just locking in dates

I'm going to meet up with some of the rs246 guys to do a b7 b8 b9 shootout
Gonna wait 2-3 years, talk to dealer about putting something together that's more 'flexible' for me and look at the outgoing RS6 Performance. I'll be saving a tonne of cash in the Immediate with this decision and can put it towards a good spec one. Thrash that a few years, probably get the facelift B9.5 RS4 (could it be the last one?
) then maybe punch out with the C8 RS6 hybrid. Max power. Buy the ****** and keep it forever. 
Depends, if one wants to break up that atrocious expanse of foam behind the grille, it could be far worse than mounting a black slimline plate.
To me, there is only one RS, and it stops with a '6'. I am a 'wagon' person, not a SUV (which was initially a jacked-up wagon, but do not get me started on SUV's), and Audi/VAG want to introduce RS SUV's = greed!
Have driven one (bucket list = 'tick') and listen to one whenever Scott, the Audi dealer's Buy-in Manager, can eagerly get one as drive home vehicle.
Last week he apologized for going past the house and couldn't disengage the sports exhaust. I asked him to, please, only ever drive past with full noise.
The ridiculous $$'s Audi want for a RS4 is not justified. If more power is sought, new downpipes, tune box, and/or a twin turbo bolt-on kit from Germany. Anyhow, I could not 'drive' a RS4 or RS6 to its potential. If I can do the mods I envisage...
So. Something happened this weekend. I have no clue. I'll make no apologies about it. I'm a converter. I have simply started warming heavily to this new B9.
Whether it was my S4 just sounding that little bit more fruity this weekend or just how 'on it' it felt, I really started to enjoy and love the punch of the V6. The B9 RS4 looks won me over on launch. You all know that. But, yeah...haven't got a clue. Just think I'm gonna get one down the line. So, where does that leave the B8? I just feel, as a daily driver, I'd couldn't access the full potential up at 7-8.5k rpm. Not every day. And frankly, the only reason I want the B8 is for its timeless looks and NA 4.2.
So, will I own one? Yes. But I think I'm just gonna wait and then actually 'own' one. Find a low mileage well cared for example and keep it as a classic. In 15-20 years time, it's going to be an absolute icon and I can rev the nuts off it, on a weekend, not worrying about fuel and running costs. Experiment with a custom exhaust and truly enjoy it. Time to book a test drive haha.
@Robbe looks like I'm on the same upgrade plan as you now mateGonna wait 2-3 years, talk to dealer about putting something together that's more 'flexible' for me and look at the outgoing RS6 Performance.

Anyhoo, in the meantime, I'm really enjoying my S4 and honestly look forward to the guys picking their new RS4s up and inundating us with sound and reviews!! Especially @DeanoC little 3 day adventure review

Isn't that an interesting development though. Crack down on 3rd party tuning then team up with ABT. They could be onto a right money spinner if they swap out the current 1500 ish limiter removal and swap it with a 3000 ish performance hike. I bet we see a dynamic pack on the RS4 by the summer with some discounts and then the performance edition next year when they do the touchscreen and maybe an ABT the summer after that
This is wonderful news... I knew Team Pro B9 would break you eventually

The touchscreen was just missed at launch. Hence the stick on screen.
