New car for my wife

So my wife currently drives a Cayman S and really loves the car, however wants to get an automatic. I have been thinking about a c63 possibly. I have an RS4 and I am kinda curious how different the c63 is from the RS4. Also what are c63's going for now? Any discounts or are they too hot? Thanks..

I drove both back to back and thought the C was more fun to drive. I ended up choosing it over the RS and M3 to replace my 911 (need another kid hauler).

Get the C63. It goes like stink and sounds sick...

The RS4 is badass, I love mine but I'm about to give it up this weekend for a GT-R. If, or once you get one, tell us how it is compared to the Audi.

The C63 is GREAT!!! But you'll go through rear tires in 3-4k miles....

I paid MSRP for my C63 back in May. RS4 is a great car however, and I would think the driving experience would be much similar to the C63 compared to the Cayman S. I had a Boxster, and even though it had half the power of the C63, it still offered a unique driving experience that I miss.

I have the dilema of having 3 4dr sedans, and while all 3 unique, still too similar compared to a 2 dr sports car.
