Pro race car driver, Randy Pobst on the other hand seems to get it:
"Given how high Randy was on the 507, we figured the less powerful, heavier RS 5 had no shot. We couldn't have been more wrong. Posting a best lap of 1:42.97, it was 0.48 second quicker, but Randy's comments suggested more like 4.8 seconds. "The R8 should be half this good! This car is fantastic. I adore it. It does such a great job utilizing all-wheel-drive traction off the corner, with zero push. You just drive in there and you think it's too early, but you just floor it and you're like, man, I should've gotten on the gas sooner. And no push, no oversteer -- it just drives right out of there, beautifully carving an exit line, using all the power. The gearbox is also very friendly. I just got more confident with carrying speed in and trusting the grip."

Man...you know how it can get over here. Audi's and especially the RS5 is junk and not worthy to be mentioned in the same conversation as a BMW.
The RS5 is a phenomenal car! Especially, as an everyday car. I absolutely love mine and all the nonsense that is spewed about it here couldn't be further from the truth!
