Default A6 to be reviewed on this week's Motorweek

http://www.motorweek.org/about/upcom...s/episode_3108

PBS airs the newest episodes. Velocity channel airs them a couple weeks delayed if you miss it. The A7 got a pretty good review so I would expect the A6 will as well.

Here's the transcript of their review:
http://www.motorweek.org/reviews/roa...s/2012_audi_a6

A few quotes:

"Regular viewers are probably tired of us gushing over Audi styling; but for us, they just push all the right buttons; with the new A6 following tightly in the A8’s beautiful tire tracks."

"And there’s certainly no sacrificing of comfort in the A6’s well-appointed interior. We’d say it’s a clinic for how an interior should be, but we don’t want to go overboard with the praise. Again following in the style of the A8, everything is elegant, without being posh."

"So, you can look at the new A6 as a fairly pricey mid-size luxury sedan, or you can look at it as a bargain A8, as it shares almost all of the A8’s technology features while also successfully copying its style."

They get bonus points for not saying the car has adjustable suspension

Motorweek review was very good, also Consumer Reports just tested the A6 also and gave it the highest ranking behind the M37X

Default Looks like the Audi tied with the Infiniti for CR top honors!

FWIW, for those who place some credence in the folks at CR, this is interesting:

huh..they compared the M37h, E blue and Saab to the A6 in a fuel miser comparo..Would have much rather seen a comparison to the non fuel miser version of each. The 2.0 would have been more appropriate to have real fuel miser test, I would think.

Good news on the car! Mine is in next week as well
