it depends what your priorities are......looks, I would go R8, for stealth either the RS6 sedan or avant......I just like the fact that the avant can be very stealth.

R8 is a given in the US since we won't get the opportunity to buy the RS6 unless some fool spends a zillion dollars to have one federalized.

R8 hands down. Although the RS6 has a lot more power, the R8 will be the better driving car

given that the s8 costs exactly the same as the r8 in australia, what price point do we think the rs6 will slot into?

talking about rs cars ive gotta worry about the rs5 when it comes out in terms of price vs m3 given price of the s5 .... rs5 will be an expensive vehicle by comparison

tough question. audi makes the best looking wagon so no question i'd hit that. if i want a true sports car i wouldn't buy an audi. but since i just got a R8 i can tell u this thing is hot like their wagon. confusing? hell ya! they're both sweet dude.

Not sure who would pick the RS 6 over an R8 if you didn't need the extra seats.

The R8 is a showstopper in person and is so easy to drive. The RS6 looks good for what it is, but is ordinary. It would be an easy pick for the R8, as long as you didn't need the extra passenger seats.

The R8 would also make a great daily driver, for the driving aspects of it. The trunk space is a bit limited and the simplicity of use of the car is good.

I have been thinking about this for the last couple days and I still can't decide between the RS6 sedan and the R8. The RS6 is the faster of the two, and it's a comfortable sedan... But the R8 is just soo damn sexy!!

This would be a very tough choice...
