Moved Up to New GS F
Had a 2013 IS F and a 2015 IS F both of which I bought very slightly used. Fabulous rides (not daily drivers though). After the 2015 I bought a 2015 911-S with less than 1,400 miles on it and then a 2020 Supra. Dumped the Supra as not a young person anymore and it just felt cramped. So back in the market, looked at Audi RS5 Sportback and M5...then drove the GS F. It's now in the garage. Much like the IS F feel but roomier. I feel like I'm home again.

I was also looking at the RS5 Sportback but disappointed by the engine size, blowing the turbos if you don't change the oil filter after every 5k mi, noisy rear suspension.
M5 always had reliability issues, but I'm sure this F90 generation is better than previous F10. I think this would be a good car to lease but not own.
Wish lexus had comparable multi-media/navigation with Audi...=(

Here is where I posted info from Lexus on that model year

Hi Jeff,
I’m still waiting on the U.S. numbers, but I have the worldwide numbers for you.
It is important to note that many worldwide markets do not use model years. So, the best I can do is tell you how many cars we sold each year that what we consider to be a 2014 in the US might have been sold. They are:
2013: 466
2014: 230
2015: 14
I’ll send along the U.S. numbers as soon as I get them.
Best Regards,
xxxxx

Sorry, this reply was for Inertia on his/her post above about the RS5 SB engine.....
Not trying to be a *****, but I do not see the problems with the Audi 2.9L TT you cite having... see https://www.audiworld.com/forums/aud...s-rs5-2987071/
Your comment concerned me that I might have missed something terrible in researching my 2019 Cayenne S purchased with the Porsche version of this engine; which VAG/Porsche has used in the Panamera since 2017 I believe. So far, fingers crossed, this engine in my Cayenne S is a beast and really does an amazing job in such a heavy vehicle. I am coming from a 2017 GS F ---- which I loved driving very hard, but had to dump due to a bad back. So I am no Porsche or Audi fanboy, but the Cayenne S ---- including a version of the RS5 SB engine ---- is just so fun to drive. Having said that, I miss the ***** out of my GS F....someone got a low-miles mint cherry when I had to trade that in. Peace and good luck!

Its possible it might not affect the 2.9TT as much but it seems like it definitely affects the 4.0TT
I can't find it via my phone really quick but EddieX (youtuber) made a video about his RS7 and brought up the issue. Keep in mind I never said it was an issue with ALL RS cars but knowing that could be an issue concerned me. Replacing an engine is an expensive affair.
