TO THE POINT What’s New? The 2007 Audi RS 4 is all new, positioned above the current S4 with an extra 80 horsepower, a long list of visual and mechanical modifications, and an extra $20,000 tacked onto the window sticker.
Selling Points: Power, handling, styling, overall performance
Deal Breakers: Tight rear seat and stiff ride make it more track and less street
Our Advice: A great option for the occasional track driver whose bank account is busting with an extra $68,820, or anyone who wants supercar performance with seating for five and all-wheel drive.
