I would have loved to have the soft close doors on mine (not an available option in Canada) to stop the grandchildren playing Superman slamming the doors shut.

Color is a very individual, subjective matter. Also, amazingly the color makes a huge difference at trade-in time. I had a hard time selling my 2012 Savannah Beige A7 because of the color and got a considerably lower price due to it.

Night vision has been upgraded for 2016. Alerts on animals now like the A8.

I have owned a S6, S8, and RS7. I have driven Audi's diesel line-up, and it's just boring. I vote for the S6. While the RS7 is definitely my favorite, in this price range, you are better off with a S6. I tuned my S6 to 560hp, which basically made it an RS7 for $1,500 in about an hour. You can have a RS7 or a A7 diesel for the same cost? Sounds like a no-brainer to me...

Night vision

In defense of night vision; I used it a lot when I'm riding around downtown where I know there are lots of people walking around. I would estimate it's saved many-a-pedestrians (dressed in all black) that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. It comes in handy for sure if you live in/near the city.

Do they really rate the 0-60 at under 4 seconds in an S6?

My friend's S6 was exactly equal in a highway pull as my Stage 2+ Golf R, which is a high 11-second car.

I believe Audi rates the 2016 @ 4.3 0-60. The previous years were rated a couple ticks slower, but they're quicker than that and the runs I've seen were 3.7-3.8 with launch control.
