I could care less what other people think. Unfortunately it seems like the a4 is the only option, but modding a lower performance trim makes me feel like a ricer. Like those kids that try to mod a base model. Also I don't see a true manual which is gonna be a massive problem for handling any real power mods.
Not a fan of the sloping rear gate look, just wasted space. I like the traditional boxy rear wagon look that the older volvos and the evo wagon have
If I wanted a big 4000lbs+ LUX wagon i'd just throw a dart at a SUV catalog.

The ring is a benchmark, if you're looking for a performance car why the fuck would proven track performance not have to do with anything? It might not be the best car to do 160 AVG 220 MAX on Cypress Bowl Road but how does that discredit the CTS-V as a true high performance wagon?

The only IS Sportcross I've ever(always) seen in person is in the driveway of a house on No. 2 Rd, near Williams.

Owning more than one rwd car with more power and less weight for the summer. What the fuck good is running 1 minute or whatever at the ring going to do for me when i'm trying to not get stuck going to whistler or any mountain in the winter? I've got enough 2wd vehicles. So since you obviously can't get it let me spell it out for you " 500hp + rwd + vancouver + winter + 4000lbs = does not compute for me."

From what I can dig up the rs4 b7 which u can get in the states and the b5 which u can't both have either 58/60% weight in the front which tells me everything I need to know about how it's going to handle.

I love wagons. They have the feel and performance of a sedan, but the practicality of, well, a wagon.

Most people that have 1 or 2 kids go and get and SUV or minivan. A wagon would fit the bill just fine and drive just as well as its sedan counterpart.

Too bad we don't get many of the decent ones in North America.

Is that an a4? Specs? stock turbo? Comments like on this video about oil consumption of 1 quart every 1-3k miles really makes me not want to mess with anything audi fsi.

I was all for new tech until I started seeing problems with DI engines where the fuel isn't sprayed thru the intake valves leading to massive clogging and build up. 40k mile engines have more build up than 140k mile engines that didnt' have DI.

A pair of S60 R splitters will do the job.

It was not the quantity of posts it was based on quality.

Only a few ROOGP are left on RS as most of the ROOGP got fed up of the BS that the new breed of Post Whores are putting up in here.

How big turbo wise can people fit on these things? Highest dyno's on pump + meth? I know the newer ones come twinscroll oem which is a bonus but whether it's worthwhile to build the oem powerplant/drivetrain or swap something else in place of it.
