The new one. It looks much more aggresive than the old one.

Well, the Audi RS4 B5 has always been the car I almost fainted when I saw. The car that had it all. It was HELL fast in straights... But had some problems with understeering.

It's really hard to not vote for the B5... but I got for the B7, since it has not the "childhood errors" of Audi. It's like the start of a new era.

Some people like the older cars better than the new ones.

In this case, of course, the new RS4 for me...

Geez, this is tough. Good comparo!

On one hand, the B5 is absolutely gorgeous - dare I say, even better-looking than the B7? It's an Avant, which I really can't resist, and it reminds us of the good ol' days of twin-turbo Audi engines, in this case, a twin-turbo V6.

On the flip side, the RS4 is an absolute masterpiece - heralding the new era of high-revving engines, yet still capturing the essense of what the RS is all about. Dynamically, it's a much better car, for sure, no doubt about that.

But all in all, I'll really have to go for the B5 - it's an absolute classic, and is better looking.

BUT. We'll see if I have to reconsider this decision when the B7 RS4 Avant comes out.

While the new car might be better overall, I don't like what they decided to do with the engine, so I'll have to pick the B5.
