Audi Confirms RS5 Sportback And Mystery RS Model Coming To The US

In an interview with Roadshow, Audi of America President Scott Keogh confirms that the RS5 Sportback (rendering above) would join the RS5 coupe as part of the product range in the United States. Until now, the Four Rings has been tight-lipped about the existence of the range-topping variant of the stylish four-door, let alone even mention its regional availability. 

"We have one other surprise we're working on, but I'll hold that one," Keogh said during the interview. "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."

The AUDI styling has run its course - and it is time for something more than just a new grill opening.

IN addition - Audi has traditionally done the least to differentiate the styling of their performance cars as well.

Ho Hum - the market has moved on from cars like this.

I agree.

Audi styles its cars with the same maniacal need to be dull and boring that Toyota once had.

Marc Lichte apparently isn't very bright.

I think you mean moved TOWARDS. FYI, Audi's U.S. sales have risen for 84 consecutive months. BMW's U.S. sales have declined for 2 consecutive years. Might want to check your facts before making such statements.

I can't wait... My next toy! I love the styling and tech of this car. The aggressive look of the RS5 makes it stand out. I wonder what the mystery model will be... e-tron maybe...hmmm

I would suspect he is referring to the RS4 or RS6 Avant. Those are the only "cool" models I can think of that are available overseas and not here.
