Understeers as soon as it doesn't like something, certainly not an RS4 which is unflappable. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Noidor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 4:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is there an RS4 Avant?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[psarhjinian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 4:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA[What?

It's a lot of money for any transportation, but if you're rolling in money and you gotta have the badge and the performance AND carry some luggage on your trip, it's not a bad choice. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DKB_SATX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 7:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA["Is there an RS4 Avant?"<br><br>Yes, there is an RS4 Avant on sale in Europe. <br><br>I think people sometimes don't get Audi's Avant. But the thing is that in Europe BMW is all about coupes, Audi is all about station wagons, Merc is all about sedans. So that's why they introduce the Avant first. Coz for Audi it's the more important version compare to its sedan. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lovice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 7:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA[This car will probably range between 90-105k.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SOhp101]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 9:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can tell you right now I only recently took a professional driving course so I could understand my husband when he was trying to convey the driving expressions . We have both driven a german spec RS6 this last week and we both disagree with the first comment and those of 4car ( which always tend to be more BMW biased). This automobile is truly amazing and an absolute beast but handles like a complete gentlemen which is IMO a positive reoccurring trait for Audi drivers. Audi kicks Azz  thoroughly and I hardly wanted to leave the cabin it simply begged me for a long holiday drive. No apologies here I simply will say again Audi has left BMW and Mbenz in the dust. Care to follow?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tsar Machiaus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2008 8:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packing on the pounds: UK-spec RS6 Avant will cost Â£77,625]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/packing-on-the-pounds-uk-spec-rs6-avant-will-cost-77-625/</guid><description><![CDATA[You know, I'm generally pretty much a treehugger.
