#IAA: Like Father, Like Son — Audi's RS7 And RS3 Have Our Attention, What About Yours?

When it comes to Audi, there's nothing better than the RS-equipped models. They're the cream of the crop. RS' make the most power, typically have the best trimmed interiors and, visually, have the most aggressive and striking designs.

It's pretty hard to see an RS7 and not be sucked into its tractor beam.

But something we've never seen in The States is the RS3. The powerful little hatch has made noise across the globe but, unfortunately, we do not get the chance to enjoy the fruits of all of Audi engineering.

What I found pretty cool is that Audi stepped out of the box with these two show cars. With its high-performance vehicles, the company has done some interesting things at auto shows to draw attention. Sometimes all of them were painted red, other times they were all matte. This time I noticed that the company decided to go blue.

Having said that, scope out both the RS7 and RS3 spec'd out with blue exteriors and light interiors.

YEAH... VW/AUDI DEFINITELY HAS THE WORLDS ATTENTION. BUY A TDI VW/AUDI... DON'T PLAN TO SELL IT FOLKS! WON'T PASS EMISSIONS. MAJOR MAJOR DEPRECIATION .. BUY A BENZ OR LEXUS INSTEAD.

AUDI/VW INTERIOR LOOKS OK BUT SMELLS LIKE DIESEL! I LOVE HOW THEY COPIED KIA AND BENTLEY.

I have come to hate the quilted look. So dated.

The RS3 is clearly a gift for Cobra Commander.

Lol, if I were VW/Audi I would be keeping a low profile now.

The RS7 seems to be an odd monster. It looks great. It goes great. But I've had 3 friends who've driven premium cars forever, who all bought the RS7 and quickly moved on to another car. The feedback range from "not worth the money", "just not a great car to drive", "not as impressive as one would think". One guy still drives a prev generation CTS-V and said the RS7 doesn't even come close, and said he thinks the S7 is the better buy.

Lies
1. You have 3 friends
2. They sold their cars because they are too expensive. Why would anyone buy a car and sell it after because it's too expensive?
3. Your friend sold his RS7 to buy a old generation Cadillac and then said buy the S7? Sound like dumb friends.
