RS4

[Jason Mawhinney]

Companies routinely build their next year cars in May or June.  In fact,
the cut off for model years is typically mid-year.  I don't know what
the deal is on this "supposed" 2002 RS4 but I would be interested to
find out.
In regards to pricing, I heard the RS4s cost the equivalent of $70k in
Germany so at $85k, it seems the importer is making a few dollars.
See ya!

I agree to that. My 1987 Coupe is built in 9/86 or 10/86. The new model
year starts Aug. 1st each year. The last RS4 was still a 2001 model, it
was made in june 2001.
