An absolutely pristine Quattro RS2. First time I've seen one of these in the wild.
 
PUT THAT THING IN A GARAGE!!

no... but Audi really needs to make it again. Its like the little sleeper that nobody messes with.. I like the RS4, but then you look at the RS3 and it's just blahhhh.. This still has it's mad dog look to it.
 
Yeah, Audi A4's are the only ones I've seen. Always thought they were like the BMW M series.
Noo.... The M sport models are made by BMW's GmBH (correct me if I'm wrong) and the S and the RS (and the R8) are made by Audi's GmBH (not actually made 100% but that is the factory. There's no special German trickery between the two plants.) All the A and Q models are made at Ingolstadt...

There is also the M135xiDrive, M3 (dead), M4 (would be like an RS5 now in between the RS6) and the M5 (either an RS6 or the RS7)... It's more than just that really but you can see the generalization...

That's why I love German cars (except Porsche) because you can choose the car that suits your likings and the practicality for it too. Where as American cars are just simply body types with variation in trim and little to no differences in drive trains (not all)

Um... Okay. Audi A's aren't good, right? Cause I deleted the pictures...

No no no... The A models are the standard models. Within the standard models, you get to pick two trims: Prestige or Premium. Then you decide engines and all that good stuff..
The S models are made at a different plant. They are the "schporty" models over the same chassis A models. Then RS is just schporty but on steriods..

An A3-4-5-6-7-8 are all good cars, but not on a level to an M Sport BMW (such as the M 3-4-5 ). The S models just have higher numbers, and the RS models have V8's as standard for every car other than the RS 3...

Not really. Audi doesn't order its cars by letter, but by number. There's the A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8. Each one is a different car. The S series cars are merely more powerful variants, so the S4 is an A4 with more power, the S6 is an A6 with more power, etc. RS is a step above S. Some base Audis (as you call them, the A's) might be good spots where you are. For example, the A8. Very big and expensive, and sold in far fewer numbers than its main rivals, the Mercedes-Benz S-class and BMW 7 series. :cheers:

Which is sad, because it beats the 5.2 R8... However, S600 is good stuff. Friends neighbor had a S550 and said it was either an S600 or a toy (meaning the SLS but used toy for the wifey)
 
An A8L W12 is a good spot, IMO, but that's the only A* that's worth a photo.

Edit: just recalled, once took a photo of an A6 Allroad 'cause I wasn't sure... happens to be my #13 most viewed Flickr photo (out of ~2000), and even got a favorite. Surprised the hell out of me. Maybe it's good after all? More likely nobody else has taken a photo of one, so mine gets all the views...

GmbH is just the German designation for a registered company, like "Corporation" in the US or "Limited" in the UK.
 
Oh, okay. You learn something new every day...
I'm not 100% sure this is the case everywhere, but in my experience a good way to think about Audis is the higher the number, the more the rarity. And A4 isn't gonna go down well here, but I don't think anyone would give you any weird looks for posting an A7, or A8.

I wouldn't even oppose to an A5. The body shape on that car is so incredibly sexy that it's better than porn! I don't care if it's not even that rare! Lol
 
Arrgh!!! I saw another El Camino, but we were going the opposite direction, both doing about 45, and it hapoened too quick. Looked like it was maybe from the 80's.

Are Saturn Ions good? I took a picture of one of them.

Nope, though they do have a sporty body style, so I understand thinking it might be good...
