IMO:

A3 = 1 series
A4 = 3 series
A5 = 3 series coupe or 4 series
A6 = 5 series
A7 = 6 GC
A8 = 7 series

So the RS4 is the E90/F80 M3 competitor and the RS5 is the E92/93 M3 / M4 competitor... RS6 is the M5 competitor, No?
I understand that's been the traditional pairing. I use the car for business and for hauling two, 6'+ teenagers around. The additional rear seat room of the new 3-series is a game changer for me and for those like me. It puts this lightweight, better-handling vehicle in a position to compete with the A6.
