I think you hate the haters more than they hate..
Sweet RS6 - don't like the rims, but otherwise it's pretty damn hot.

Another slap in the face for US potential buyers that Audi USA won't bring over the RS6; (which IMHO blows away the RS7 in looks; utility, etc especially in sedan form).

Does this have a DCT? Yes I'm lazy to google. Biggest buzzkill for me on the RS7 was that boring automatic. Audi puts the DCT on the S7 but not on the RS7 :/
Well thank them for keeping me a loyal BMW customer. Same credit goes to Benz on using a regular auto on the E63 & CLS63. I would be a sucker for a V8TT, rear biased AWD & DCT. The 4 banger in the CLA45 isn't going to cut it...

That thing sounds sick - is there a sedan version?

The E63 AMG and CSL63 AMG doesn't quite use a "regular auto". It has what MB calls a MCT. Which basically is a auto transmission but without a torque converter. Instead of the converter it uses a wet clutch. The MCT isn't regarded as anywhere near as good as the DCT in the M5 though |

I have AMG's with MCT. It's nowhere near as capable as the DCT. It's just not responsive.. it feels like there's a computer processing your requests.
Whereas with DCT it's near instant and your requests are translated into an action almost instantly - not "thought about",

I agree the paddle shifts on the MCT are worthless- the electronics are not dialed but with a tune the response of the throttle in D mode and S+ is quite good. Maybe its just the rush of tq I feel LOL And I have had my share of DCT's including the GTR, M3, M5, M6, and 3 P cars (997.2TT, 991C4S, 991 TTS). The PDK in the Turbo S is hands down the best of the lot. The GTR was the worst. I applaud BMW for putting a DCT in the 2009 M3 which I had; that was almost 5 years ago.
