I had 2 RS6's and they were great cars but pigs, Quattro is a heavy SOB.
No doubt Audi will bring it to the states though. They are picking up the pace over there at Ingolstadt. Look at the A5 launch with the announcement of the S5 as well and then a green light for the RS5. Audi is def. going to have some cars for the world.

Sold well initially, then available at a discount, then picked back up and held their value in the resale market.
The replacement (imo) will follow a similar pattern, and if Audi produces too many (more than 1000) they fall in value, like a rock!

According to various sources its not coming. Pretty stupid move not to bring it, if you ask me. Even if it's priced higher than the competition (E63, M5), it would be worth a 10-15% premium considering the difference in power.

Actually they didn't move as quick as expected. Beverly Hills had two in stock for over a year.

I don't think its coming to the US based upon the articles that I've been reading.
The articles talk about the RS6 as if it were some overpriced estate wagon that will not sell for 100K in the US?
I don't know what to think? But based upon all of the new models and engine options on their high sellers A3,4, Q7 my guess would be that AoA is going to try and push people into vehicles, just as they've done with the Q7 by not importing the Allroad. Just wait till they bring over another SUV (Q5).
