NEW AUDI TO MY COLLECTION - AUDI RS4 AVANT B8.5 - To remind Audi what they stand for?

[@NoUser-j2b]

Audi, if you reading this, please listen to this man and bring back what we used to love in your cars .. the soul and uniqueness

[@Auditography]

Appreciate the comment

[@bassmasta9117]

I agree Audi needs to remember why we are all Audi fans! I drive 2015 SQ5 and it is the coolest/weirdest SUV ever with it's supercharger. The RS3 and TTRS were amazing with their 5 cylinder engines. This is the kind of stuff that we want!

[@Auditography]

Yes, the point of this video was also to create emotion and make a few decision makers understand a bit more. PS. The B8.5 SQ5 is amazing!

Hey Audi, your fan base loves the old Audis more than the new ones. Could be bad for business.

[@WellrudeRS5]

As RS5 owner i approved everything you mentioned in your video especially what audi needs to hear .. i am so in love with that orange interior wow ❤❤❤

[@Auditography]

Thank you for watching and enjoy that RS5!

[@WiZe1972]

I used to call myself a “true Audi fan” as I’ve owned over the past decade a number of cool Audi cars (S3, S5, RS5, e-tron S just to name a few) I left Audi in 2020 as I felt the brand was loosing its identity, loosing what made the fans falling in love with it: Heritage, strong branding, emotion… Nowadays, it’s all about selling volumes, pleasing some (huge) markets, diluting the history that made so many people fall in love with the four rings. Today, you can buy an Sline A3 and fool people, pretending you’re driving a sport version. That is not right. Today, if I want to feel emotional about Audi, I need to think about B8 RS4, First gen R8, or even the cabin of my former B8.5 A4 Sportback that was shouting quality all over. Now it’s all about cheap plastic, same RS grill for everyone, no more front S/RS front logo… I truly hope to come back to Audi but I need to feel the emotion of it and to speak the truth, it is gone at the moment. Dear Audi, prove me wrong, show me a true Audi like they were in the past and I’ll be signing that contract with heartbeats like I use to remember back in the days… Your (Still) big Audi fan

[@Auditography]

Thank you Wize for your comment. I alwasy enjoy your passionate videos as well. When I saw the new S5 Sedan/Avant, I told the Audi people at location that this is the first time in 5 years when I feel like I want a new Audi. And that is the time you left the brand, so I hope to see you in a new S5 Sedan next year, and I hope also that Audi listens more to people like you. Cheers!

[@fobionaggaard28_88]

I completely agree with u! I left Audi in January when i bought a Bmw X3M as a new second car. But i still have my B8.5 S5 Convertible. I love this car and its quality so much. Its my second S5, i also had one from 2012 to 2016 when i bought the one i still have. This car made me really fall in love with the brand becuase of its quality, practicality and sportiness. Its so sad to see, what Audi made the last 5 years ago...

[@boerieza]

That interior color is such a nice contrast to the blue. Well done and many, many happy miles to you and the fleet :)

Your love and choice of this Audi stallions leaves me shivering. The next one I love after B7 & B8.5 is C6 Saloon & Q7 4.2TDI. In the near future I'll have them & boy oh! It'll be joy to wake-up everyday to look at them.

I appreciate it, and glad you liked what I spoke on. Enjoy!

[@earlgray71]

What an immaculate example of a proper RS model from a now bygone era of motorsport where glorious, powerful engines had soul and were allowed to be heard. Totally agree with you on the whole badging fiasco. Audi please bring back the front S and RS badges and put back the old style rear badging so the S and RS models stand out as they should. It wasn't broke so please don't fix it

[@Auditography]

Appreciate the comment, and I hope Audi is listening.

[@spotspace]

I have the A4 version of this car. The quality is astonishing. That was the peak of Audi. I think they really shouldn’t stop putting N/A V8s into the RS4. And they shouldn’t stop putting buttons in the interior.

Yeah, I hope they're listening

True piece of design that combines art, technic and passion. For those who have petrol in their veins this car is one of the greatest of that era that will never happen again. Perfect lines and no stupid plastics to tell people "hey this is sporty". Happy to see that this masterpiece is on the hands of someone who truly appreciates the good designs of that era. Congratulations, give great revs that this engine deserves.🔥🔥🔥

Great comment! Thank you for the words. Yes when found out the owner might sell it, I couldnt let it be bought by someone who would run it to the ground. It was to great of a condition to let go. I hope it will stay with me forever!

[@zoommb]

I completely understand. I'm down to 4 now as I sold one of my C5 allroad's (6mt, of course). I'm left with a B5 S4, a C5 allroad, a B7 S4, and a B8.5 S4 (Supercharged). I am the original purchaser of all but the C5. All are manual trans cars. As a matter of fact the B8.5 was the 13th to last 6mt S4 ever in the US. There are many more I wish I had, but money is a scarce resource. And every time I get into my B7, I think of the Queen song: "I'm in love with my car". Love the blue with the orange interior. Enjoy many more years with it. -mike

[@Auditography]

Thank you for the longer comment. If only Audi would make a limited edition menual 3 door coupe, they will surely sell them all. Maybe they would lose money initially, but in the long run it would be a win, cause the enthusiast would drag the masses with them to the brand.

[@stephenhunt6673]

Great story. Love the car, the 4.2L v8 sound & especially the interior colour that pops in a sea of Audi black interiors. My first Audi was a D3 A8 with 4.2 N/A engine. Then went to an A4 1.8T (mistake!), then to an 2014 A7 with 3.0T SC engine, then 2013 S6 w 4.0TT, then 2014 S8 (stunning car) with 4.0TT, and recently purchased a 2018 RS4 with the 2.9TT. Love my V8s, but the 2.9TT RS4 is doing a great job at keeping me 'entertained'. I agree that the 2021 onwards interiors have gone down in quality, a sea of grey & and gloss black plastic in most models. Even the RS ETRON GT that i drove on an Audi driving day didnt feel special inside, especially with the joke "dickie switch" excuse for a gearstick. For the same $$$ here in Oz, I'd rather buy an RS6 which is actually very impressive in all aspects. I enjoy your videos!!

Beautiful car! Cut my teeth on 4000 and 5000 quattros back in the day. Like you said, I hope Audi hasn't lost their way with putting the rhomboid on every model the way BMW puts M badging on everything. It no longer feels special to own an S or RS model. And now the talk of discontinuing some of Audis best cars in America is just frustrating. Enjoy your beautiful B8.5 RS4 Avant!

[@Auditography]

Thank you for the longer comment. Yes, if Audi listens more to the people that have been loving this brand for decades, they will tell them those small details that made them choose them over the competitors. That is a start. Cheers

I have a B8 S5 Cabrio. I love this cars wonderful interior and the incredible quality of it! I equipped it additionally with full Audi exclusive interior back in 2016. Perhaps its just a S5 this car has an incredible soul and i love hearing it while driving with the open roof. And its also really, really practical. For years it was my only car and i drove it summer and winter (thanks to quattro) without problems. Now i have a Bmw X3M as a second car since half a year ago, for me as a big Audi Fan, Audi has completely lost its character and identity. That makes me really sad and its also a reason why i bought the Bmw. Hopefully Audi changes and brings back such beautiful cars as the B8 S5 or B8 RS4!

[@Auditography]

Enjoy your B8 S5 Cab forever. And we have big hopes here for the upcoming B10 RS5 Avant. I know the project leader for that car, is reading these comments.

My b7 is 18 y.o. an old lady in cars terms now and I would love to upgrade it for b8, because it is newer, engene become more fun and reliable, suspension became better and reliable, it is got s-differential and so on... But it lost the manual gearbox and the handbrake and it ruined all the winter experience and fun for me 😢 really thinking about buying one and make a manual conversion 😅

[@Auditography]

Having the best of both worlds is the solution: Have both! The B7 and B8 are quite different. As you pointed out, the manual gearbox and analog handbrake are so good in the B7, while the B8 is modern on all points, and the engine is a big better. The B7 is surely the icon though as its more balanced. Have both! Cheers

A message for Audi: The soul from your cars is slowly disappearing, the Times where I believed in ,,vorsprung duch technik" are off, but I feel it is a pity, because back then I was waiting for new, better torsen generation, or weight balance for example. ..we all know that permanent 4wd is way better than haldex or any other clutch system like quattro-ultra. Just because of the passive security system. Give us back mechanical technique. Why the hell A3 and A4 does not have option for manual gearbox?! I can not buy newer car then b8.5! Even more if I want the car with manual gearbox and torsen! Thats the vorsprung duch technik and we all know you have exchanged this to stupid unnevcessary SUVs and more sales. You also reacted to us and told us that a4 was so rare bought with manual so you removed it from the list, but do you know, that all such customers are still waiting for manual or went for the other manufacturers? Then you can bully market situation/covid or any other nonsense. Give us back the real, mechanical vorsprung duch technik! Not the clutch or brake systems. Audi was and was supposed to be car for engineers and People who love the maturity of the mechanical aspects, not only design posers. I know at least 10 People who are waiting for manual to be back. How about you?! Give us a new proper car with outstsnding weight ratio, permanent 4wd, option for manual and we will love you because we will feel you are concentrating on technik and brushing the diamond to the perfect shape again.

[@orl3on]

@@Auditography Totally agree 😁

[@orl3on]

I totally agree with what you said at the end of the video. With today's cars, it is a big shame that they are losing that soul that they used to have. An example is the details of the "S" and "RS" badges that have been removed from the front, and also! They changed the typography to worse (in my opinion). Or also that DNA of the interior details that you only saw in Audi. Now the latest Audi models remind a bit of a Hyundai? Ford? Kia? Is that good? Because I don't believe so. Audi has to stop and think and see that what most Audi fans love is this: (the Audis in the video). And not the cars that are coming out lately that lose their soul. And as an Audi fan, I want to point something out. If a design style has worked and been loved for many years, don't change it for something worse. Makes zero sense. And also the feeling that the car gives you is not only design. I also want to leave a message that I hope reaches the Audi team. Honestly, like many fans of the brand, would like you not to follow the weird design trends, EV cars, interiors with only screens, all looking the same... because step by step, little by little, I feel like Audi is becoming just another brand in the market like Kia, Ford, Peugeot, Hyundai, etc. And I hate that. 😣 It hurts me... Audi deserves much more, and I am strict with the brand because I want the best for the car brand I have had a crush on since I was 8 years old. I feel like Audi wants to satisfy customers and adapt to the market at the same time, which is a market trend that people don't want. That said, thank you very much Auditography for this quality of videos and for speaking honestly about these topics. Greetings from Spain. 🙏🏼❤
