If the RS4 Cabrio does in fact manifest, then surely it will hold the title of "most pointless drop-top". C'mon, surely this is some kind of marketing smoke and mirrors? We all know that the S4 suffered terribly from the weight gains associated with the additional construction aimed at (attempted) torsional rigidity.

For heaven's sakes man... they couldn't even put electric window winders in the back doors of the saloon in the name of "weight saving" and now this???

The RS4 Cabrio is the last car I want to see from Audi. The last.

I'd sooner see the release of a limited edition TSFi A2 in pearl-effect flamingo pink with purple wheels.

Sometimes the fickle nature of the industry really grates my nuts.
