However, if you want a bit more there's always the RS6 Avant Plus with an extra 30bhp, 0-125 in 12.7secs and 175mph top whack !!!
True !
The only thing worrying me is that both already now start to look like second hand cars.
And that's exactly what I don't like about BMW M3's, Audi S4's, etc. They are very popular with the dodgy London suburb lot. They drool all over them when they're new and once they're on the second hand market, they're all over them.
So if you don't have the latest model, it straight away looks like you wanted a performance car on the cheap.
Second worry I got is that many of those cars are being bought by people who can afford the (second hand) price, but not the expensive maintenance. Plus, generally moving up from a Vectra V6, they don't understand the importance of good maintenance on performance cars.
It's a bit comparable to what we see with older Impreza's. There are quite a few entusiasts, but there are unfortunately also a lot of boy racers who can afford buying them but then cannot afford the running costs. They do no good for the image of the older Impreza's
