DEFINITELY get the RS4 or wait for the RS5, the car surpasses any expectations in all aspects, performance, styling, luxury, pure sex.

three sti's, golf in japan, and looking to buy an expensive as hell car...i admire you haha, may i ask what you do for a living???

Got a small import business - having a good year so need a fairly expensive tax write off so why not a new car...lol

Anyway, after all the STIs it is time for something else.

Who knows, in a few years when the 450 hp rumoured STI Legacy is out here I may be back to Subbies!

Surprised with all the comments for the RS4 that the M3 and it are neck in neck on the poll.

I am leaning towards the RS4 though - 4 doors (good for the family) and one huge trunk on it as well! 4 sets could fit in there! Looked at the 320 M sport and would be lucky if 2 sets fit in that car.

Off to the Audi dealer this weekend I think to put in the order!

I'm jealous. That thing costs a fortune over here, if we could ever bring one in.

What color do you have in mind?

Enjoy and post some pics

I voted BMW M3. But I wouldn't have a problem owning the RS4 either

Post pics and a review when you get the car...

You picked three really good cars. In the end it will come down to personal taste. I am more of a sports car guy then a luxury guy so I picked the GT-R, and it does not hurt that I have been a fan of the Skyline since I got to drive them in Grand Tourismo. I have wanted one ever since. When they come stateside and I win the lottery I will take mine in black.

GT-R all the way, going to be a sick car. Spys have seen that car tear it up on the track and say it has unbelievable track times and speed through the corners. The backseat might be an option, but I'm sure a little kid could sit back there just fine. I like Audi but I'm ready for the release of the GT-R here. Course if I lived in Japan I might want something that wasn't Jap made. Kind of like us here not wanting something domestic. Being different is whats its all about.

Here's a thought...ask the little bugger what he thinks. Those little mini-mights contain a lot of insight. I know mine do. Plus he will then be involved with the decision making.

I noticed that too. Also, a big powerful non-turbo engine. Strange to see in Japan.
