Dropped the wife off at the airport this morning so I have her car today.

Drove one at Summit, I liked it a lot.
Esentially a B7 with some interior refinements, a few more tech innovations, and better stance/wt distribution.
The dynamic steering creeped me out though, so I turned it off.

My wife took my S6 to her parents for two weeks, I was stuck driving an Isuzu Trooper...
when I got the car back yesterday I couldn't believe how nice it was. What a fantastic car.

I agree, I was just stating my feelings on the differences between the two..
having said that, a C4 is worlds nicer than a B4.
And, I still like the B5, but I like my C5 a lot more.

I love them both, but they are very different
I find the 300+ lbs difference to be very noticeable. The lower weight and smaller engine (1.8) is a lot of fun...you feel you're driving hard and fast, even if you're not. The A6 masks it's sportiness with the luxury feel - larger size, weight and features. It's deceptive...much faster than the B5, but it dosen't have the edge that the B5 has. I find I drive the B5 a lot more than I thought I would.
