Other Choices:

The 2008 Audi RS4 competes in two arenas; against sedans, it's a head-to-head foe of the BMW M3, though priced much higher, and the new Lexus IS-F, also much cheaper. The RS4 has the all-wheel-drive advantage, however. Among convertibles, the Mercedes-Benz SL550 isn't quite as quick and it's only a two-seater, but it comes with a folding hardtop standard. Jaguar's lovely XKR has scalding-hot power and a feline grace about it, as well as a fantastic six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and two very small, very unusable rear seats. The V-10-powered BMW M6 convertible is even costlier and heftier, and it has a confusing array of interior controls.

    Dear Editor. As RS4 owner I can attest to the fact that my bone stock RS4 will go from 0 to 60 mph in easily 4.3 to 4.7 seconds depending on altitude and ambient air temperature. 5.5 is not even the manufacturer listed time, which would be 4.7 and those are always conservative.
    Also having a RWD driver car "compete" with a continuous asymmetrical all wheel drive does not make sense at all.
