Scroll way down!

No lambo steering wheel, no recaro bucket seats, no push button start.

Shittt, where can buy these optional factory components on the aftermarket ?

It is ridiculous that they would take out the start button to accomodate the 2 cup-holders... That is plain dumb, I understand other changes that are due to safety regulations like the side-air bags in the seats and the steering wheel. But are side-airbags mandatory? I mean this is a ultra-performance sedan, not an A4. I just don't get it, they took the distinguishing characteristics of the RS4 and turned it back into an S4.

The RS6 was made and discontinued (in US) in 2003. It was a monster of a car, Bi-Turbo 8-cylinder. They won't come out with a new one of those until probably 2007 as a 2008 model, if it comes to the US

I think the seats and the steering wheel help sell that car. For the U.S. to not get them, it would turn me off.

But that's jsut me

The next RS6 is to have a 500+ HP V10 (from Lambo) to compete with the M5.

Haven't they already announced the S8 with the V10?

Anyone else wonder how developing these cars can be profitable? I mean the volume is nothing.
