New Car and Driver Sept '05 they test a Audi RS4 against the current M3 and a C55 Benz. The first thing that caught my eye was the estimated price of $80,000 for the RS4. The C55 and M3 are 13.3 secs for the 1/4 mile and the M3 is 13.6. 0-60 times are 4.8 secs for the Audi and M3, the C55 is 4.7. I would rather save $20,000 and buy the Benz or BMW anyday. Not impressed at all.
