For sure RS4B7 sound better. And now for sure is cheaper, but its propably not too good at reability and parts prices kill it.
One of the best Audis ever.

..Id prolly take the RS4, new and old, but I really wouldn't care which one. I always thought the Interior of the A45 Never went with the car, And that it should have been a coupe rather then a saloon, maybe less space, but also less weight, and better for the looks, same with the RS3. Id also be willing to bet the A45 is making a good deal more then 360Bhp...seems to be a trend nowadays..
