Default C6 = N-***-TY!

No, only joking. Actually, it doesn't look bad. Guess my body was taken over by aliens (Joking again, they wouldn't want it!) because I'm actually beginning to like the fish-mouth. It's disappointing only in it's being derivative. A8 imitates the C5; C6 borrows the A8 rear end, etc. Guess we're not going to see original brilliance like the C5, TT and Avus again for awhile. Interior looks OK, not great. I like the new steering wheel.

New AW says 3 engines in the U.S. -

1. The A8's V8.
2. 3.2 V6 from the TT. (Isn't that VW's narrow V?)
3. 2.4 V6 with only 170HP. (1.8 replacement?)

Surprised by the 2.4, if true. Guess Audi doesn't love turbo's anymore. Who else would like to see the 3.0 TDI in the U.S. with about 330 ft-LB of torque?

Default What about a 3.0 TDI with forced induction and 280hp/400 ft-lbs? It could happen.

Here? Maybe not.

It has grown on me incredibly. I even like the interior now. Let's hope it drives like a BMW-beater

Default Guess Audi really didn't like the repair bills on the turbos

They are costing Audi a lot of money for warranty repairs. And frankly, I am a little scared about life after warranty myself

I wish they had a turbo version....nothing more exciting than a rush of twin turbos spooling up and unleashing untapped power depressing your back into Audi's plush seats!
