I have never seen a sport back, i find it hard to define the line between some the A# models. a 4 dour A5 seems like it would be an A4.

Id be fine if they gave us the powerhouse from the C6 RS6. the 550 would do. Id love to se a V10 car in the states, would the V10 change the class of the car for just a standard market car? Maybe extra restrictions?

I also dont believe the RS4 will be comming to the states unless Audi plans on giving us all the RS cars, we just got two new ones a third one would be the ****

Actually the truck tuned 3.5 EcoBoost is rated at 365hp and 420lb.-ft. I know it's a different tune and different heads but you could probably tune the passenger car version to the same amount of power. I also know peak torque on the truck engine comes in around 1600 rpm. I drove one with a 6000lb. trailer and turbo lag is pretty much non-existent.

Yeah even if you aren't a Ford guy the new EcoBoost F-150s are nothing to laugh at. Stock, they'll give a lot of cars on this forum a run for their money in a straight line. I can't wait for the aftermarket to catch up, this'll be a truck that'll be really tuneable.
