^What was that?

The RS4 is a true gem,i really the hope the new one lives up to it's predecessor

The C63 is thundering as expected

Oh man I have to wait to September or October. Its a long wait but Im sure its worth it

^yep me to..
but thats how we roll on the westcoast..

Just looking at the specs I don't think there have every been 4 more evenly matched/similar cars in any one segment like this before. The only real differences (on paper of course) outside of some RPM seperation are the driven wheels (Audi), number of gears, and type of transmissions. Their engines are more similar than dissimilar for the most part. Oh and one is a little on the heavy side.

^^ Agreed

It is indeed good news that there is quite a variety to choose from nowadays.

I was hoping they would have reviewed the M3 with DCT. On another note am I the only one that finds American reviews to have blisteringly fast 0-60 times? I mean the M3 did 0-60 in 4.6s (manual)? We never get those kinda times here, heck I doubt that even the DCT will give us 4.6s over here.

They also mention that the M3 was the cheapest car out of the 4? Atleast over here, the RS4 is still considerably cheaper.

funny, where I live RS4 cost a lot more than both M3 and C63.

You are forgetting displacement (and torque). Except for the M3 and RS4 units, there is a huge spread in both displacement and torque.

True, forgot about that one. Still though their engine characteristics are very similar now that MB and Audi and even Lexus have joined the rev-happy party.

It's always good to have a variety of different outcomes for different comparison tests.

Audi RS4 looks badass in yellow.

The engines are more similar....WHAT? Maybe in terms on HP rating, but the high revving 4.0 BMW V8 is a completely different beast from the 6.2 AMG V8
