Which late model Audi to buy ? (newbie questions)

Hello,

I am very interested in buying a late model Audi - either brand new, or maybe one year old with low miles.

The number one reason I am interested in an Audi is all-wheel drive. I like very much the BMW m5, and certain E-class mercedes models, but none have all-wheel drive, so I am really looking exclusively at Audis.

A few questions:

- why do I only see 2003 RS6 models ?

- if the RS6 was not released in 2004, why, and will it be released again soon ?

- what was the last year a S8 was available in the US, and how much did they sell for ?

- Can I get a new 2004 S8 in the US ?

thanks.

Oh, and one more thing - I know what an A8 is and what an S8 is, but what is an R8 ? I see them referenced here...

Not to steer you away from audi's, cause I love em, but mercedes makes all wheel drive cars, they are stamped with a "4matic" on the back. The AWD system is pretty good in them too, but for now I love my quattro.

I see that ... but in my small experience and research it seems that the quattro AWD system is the most technologically advanced out there....

Do all the models I listed (A8, S8, R8) have quattro ? (I know the rs6 does)

thanks.
