The R8 and RS5 are the only ones I would ever consider buying, well and maybe the upcoming RS7, but I'll need to drive it first to see how it is.

It was a fun day driving new cars at the track for free......

My bad...they do offer manual R8s...they were all Audi S tronic at this event

Another thing I learned is that you ever need a big luxury sedan, do not buy a S8, even though I enjoyed the power delivery, it pull and pull, it felt pretty fast for a large car...the leg room, in both driver and front passenger seats, it is ridiculous tight in width. I am average size guy and could not open my legs at all...not made for driver's comfort in long trips...now people in the back would be just fine...I guess who cares about the chauffer , plus I don’t like the looks of it…...

and one more the TTS was awful...

I have F10 M5 and RS6 the performance is very similar but if you compare M5 vs S6,M5 100%

I attended this event as well. Audi was Amazing for such a great free time. I agree I will never own a S8 or TTS. lol I was full out the whole time. I did come away just in love with the R8. I even won the hot lap in the new V10. The S6 was garbage and I told them that's no M5 killer as they boasted. The RS6 was my second favorite. I have to say the S4 and S5 was a bit more dynamic then the last time I drove them.

The TTS has no power from a dig. They need to fix that car is dangerously slow from a stop. They told that's because its a turbo and not supercharged. I laughed and said I have a turbo I6 right there to prove you wrong...lol
