The latest RS models are just a bit disappointing of how they trail BMW and MB on the street or track. Like how they look though...

Audi pretty much lost their only advantage of AWD with the newest M5 or E63S. They are great looking though, but like OP don't care for the engine setup of the MLB platform on Audi's, also the piano black plastic all touch interior is an OCD nightmare.

No shame in Audi losing this race IMO - it's not going to make a real difference in public road scenarios at legal speeds. Yeah they lose bragging rights somewhat, but look really good!

Every time I see one of you guys getting excited about the RS6 I'm just thinking that you've already got the E63s wagon over there and that's the much better car in every way, especially when it comes to corners.
But this is in a straight line and the overgrown passat just gets hammered. It also just isn't the understeer which is only really apparent when pushing hard but the cars are just hard to get turning plus they have a huge amount of torque steer. For me the RS6 is a bit of don't meet your heroes. But unlike a Countach you expect a modern car to be decent!

Audi's are very nice cars and for the most part the RS's are underpowered compared to most direct competitors but offer a unique driving experience with superb fit/finish/design...

I think the rs7 is perfect for people like my dad. He likes the luxury of the s-class/7series but is tired of their huge size. The rs7 is about the same size as an m5 or e63 but is more comfortable/luxury for that class of car, almost as comfortable as the large sedans. The a7 or 5series or eclass are comfortable too, but don't come with the same status. The rs7 fills a nice gap in the market that bmw and mercedes did not fill.
