DACH Supersonic July 10, 2018 Author Share July 10, 2018 i'm curious as to why M & Alpina managed to move more unit in Singapore compared to RS I feel its cause M & Alpina has a separate showroom from its normal range of BMW cars To the eyes of Singaporean, M & Alpina and AMG are more atas than RS. Maybe Audi Singapore should market their performance cars as Quattro. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SZ_ford 5th Gear July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 i'm curious as to why M & Alpina managed to move more unit in Singapore compared to RS I feel its cause M & Alpina has a separate showroom from its normal range of BMW cars Some still have the perception that BMW and Merc are more atas than Audi. Somehow its reflected in their car prices. Similar range cars from audi are usually slightly cheaper than the other 2. but to me, they are all atas haha, Leuxs included Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 When it comes to choosing performance cars. It's not about shopfront or advertising. Actual vehicle performance, handling matters. As well as resale value of the car when the buyer let it go after he had his fun. In terms of branding prestige/recognition and performance record, I will rank M in front, AMG followed by RS. i'm curious as to why M & Alpina managed to move more unit in Singapore compared to RS I feel its cause M & Alpina has a separate showroom from its normal range of BMW cars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SZ_ford 5th Gear July 12, 2018 Share July 12, 2018 Branding prestige/ recognition is the fruit of marketing Actual vehicle performance and handling I don't see RS lagging behind //M or AMG i agree with u. But after watching so many youtube videos, the usual comments on RS is being AWD, they are less tail happy, and hence less fun and less driver's involvement. in fact being AWD, might even be quicker around a track or 0-100kmh. then again a lot is down to one's perception. but the fact is they are competing in the same price bracket (AMG, M, RS) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemakesstuff 1st Gear September 24, 2020 Share September 24, 2020 Hi! New member from the UK here. Hope you don't mind me bringing an old thread back to life. Do you have many Audi TTs in Singapore? There don't seem to be many threads about them on this forum? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
