Hot for the Audi RS5
Outside of the Audi R8 supercar, I’ve found little emotional attachment to the current Audi lineup. Granted, the A4/S4/RS4 is excellent in all its various configurations and the 6-badge is definitely worth a look for any successful executive, but for me the relationship was purely platonic.
