Default Aluminium Body
Does the A6 have an aluminium body or is it only the A8?

I believe the hood on the A6 is the only aluminum body part.

A8. A6 (at least 2.7's and 4.2's) does have aluminum suspension parts, if I remember correctly.

Interesting! That's where most stone chips occur... Can any others confirm this?
