Ibis White B7 RS4 still looks great, sounds great
Revisiting an old flame. Yes, it’s just a promotional video for an aftermarket tuner, but we still love it. The RS4 doesn’t look bad in any color, but white would probably be our top choice (followed by Sprint Blue).
RS4 or M3? We realize it’s not 2008 anymore, but that question has, at least for us, lost none of its entertainment value (note that the C63 was never really in the running— not seriously, anyway). Every time we think we’ve settled definitively on the M3, the RS4 keeps pulling us back, like an especially persistent suitress.
I generally go for any German sports sedan in white, but for some reason it had just never crossed my mind during the myriad daydreams I’ve had about the RS4. Not bad, but I’ve just always seen it in a really dark, really deep metallic grey.
That sound. That SOUND! Makes Matt Farah tolerable.
And said fantasies always include the MTM system, though the VFE sounds less whiny with similar results. Great revisitation.
