Default 2016 Audi S6 & Audi A6 Facelift test drive REVIEW

The RS7 review was posted recently, but I just realized the guy also did an S6 review. Very detailed review (sorry if this is a repost):

I really like this walk around, in high resolution.

Is that what you ordered? Maybe that's why your order is held up.

I didn't order the cold weather package (heated steering wheel), so I am getting the flat bottom one. I think others have ordered that as well and are out of production. I'm still waiting for production to start :/

Bizarre... Mine's already 1/4 of the way across the Atlantic. I'd be beating down my dealer's door.

Typical luck I have - it doesn't even phase me anymore. I had a brand new custom-ordered BMW who's engine literally exploded 200mi in. With the S6, I'd rather it come late but without any major explosions or defects. Either way though, dealer doesn't have any major insight - says it will be here in 6 weeks.

Wow... Did they do a buyback or try and fix it?

New engine. Car was out of commission for over a month. Back then, I worked in the city and barely used the car, so it wasn't a big deal. I probably could have pushed for a buy-back but didn't even think about it. The A7 I had previously also fell apart as I drove it off the lot - suspension pieces were somehow missing. It was a CPO A7 with less than 4k miles. Audi offered me some help on the new S6 order in lieu of that experience though.

Do you know which boat your car is on?
