    Audi Exec Reveals RS5 Sportback and Secret RS Model Coming to U.S.

      More RS models isn't a bad thing

    Audi of America President Scott Keogh has been pushing the mothership to bring over more of the high-performance RS models to the U.S. His efforts have been paying off as we currently have the TT RS, RS 3 sedan, RS 7 sportback, and soon the RS 5 coupe. In an interview with Roadshow, Keogh said two more RS models are incoming.

    The first is the RS 5 Sportback. Like the coupe, the sportback will get a biturbo 2.9L V6 with 444 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic and quattro all-wheel drive. The second model is a surprise.

    "We have one other surprise we're working on, but I'll hold that one. There's a cool European model that we haven't brought in yet, and it has been the number 1 car on my list. So maybe we'll get it," said Keogh.

    A number of people believe that mystery model is the RS 4 Avant which has the same powertrain as the RS 5. We're not sure about this considering how allergic Americans are to wagons, unless Audi somehow creates a RS 4 Allroad. There could also be a new RS 6 Avant or even an RS version of the Q5.

    Audi can't move any of the regular Allroads; a perf version would sell 2 dozen/ month at best.

    And that is hitting the nail on the head, Allroads are a beefed up station wagon. FAILURE even though I like the looks.

    Audi should be focused on CUV's and performance CUV's that sell here. BMW and MB have proven that as well as GM.

    Would not matter much if they can sell it in other markets.

    Agreed, once again the voice of reason.

      I truly hope this is true, it seems to be and of course many GOP house and Senate members have stated they are not wanting to change IRA since it would affect Billions their states have given to auto companies to build plants for the EV industry in their states.

      And, then, the deplorables will not blame him for inflation because something else must be causing it. Also, he doesn't "do" anything.  He knows some, but not a lot.  The puppeteers make all these calls.  He has an econ degree from Penn for which he won't let the transcripts be publicized.  The puppeteers often have graduate level schooling in economics, law, and policy and that's what they've habitually done for a living.  He just flaps his gums and talks tough.

      IDIOT 47 just announced on his Stupid social media site that on his first day in office he will sign a presidential directive to charge Canada and Mexico a 25% tariff on all products coming into the U.S. Trump's Tariffs Will Likely Hit Prices in These Seven Industries Consider getting stuff now that can last on the shelf for these industries: Automobiles and Automotive parts Agricultural Products Electronics Mineral fuels and oils Plastics and Plastic Products Machinery and Industrial Equipment Aluminum and Steel Products So if your a foodie who enjoys cooking, I looked up, consider getting ziploc freezer bags, aluminum foil, cooking utensils, etc. get ready for a 25% increase in cost. Reynolds Aluminum company has already said that they will pass along the full 25% tariff cost to the consumer affective the week the tariff goes into effect.

      My whole family has stopped going to Starbucks except when on a road trip as they know what they will get, due to the cost here, it is crazy to spend the kind of money they are asking for drinks when you can make it at home for such a fraction. Example is a venti black coffee is $7 here in Seattle, my wife makes her own blend at home and has it for 70 cents. No reason to go to Starbucks and give them so much money.
