Perfect balance

Here's how I sum up the RS 4: muscle, fun, security, handling, comfort and room for the family. I considered the BMW M3 as one of the best sedans in the world, but I now tip my hat to Audi. With their Quattro system, the RS 4 takes the lead; in rain and in gravel, it keeps its path. I'd opt for the silver one, more discreet than the blue, yellow and red models. Two problems, though: it costs $94,700, and the number of units in Canada is limited to only 100. Practical perfection has a price.
