  17. This car might have been the last of the year for me and my brother on the East coast. Not only are the leaves changing, but so is the weather. What better car to finish off the season with than the brand new 2007 RS4? Couldn't pass up the chance to take a close look at what might be the most sought after Audi on the market to date. The owner bought the vehicle back in August and it appeared as though it had not been washed or detailed since then. The BEFORE pictures are a bit deceptive as the car did need work, probably due to lack of dealer prep in removing adhesive, etc... As always, feedback is always appreciated. Thanks for looking.
