Default Opinions of RS6? Luxury sport sedan? Aren't there enough of these on the market?

E55,
M5,
Jag S 'R' type,
Is it that for the price, it has to be a sedan to sell in this country?
Oh, why not the avant! BMW never brought the M5 wagon over here either.
I'm sure I'd fall in love if I drove one (like I did with the S6), but, but...
I guess I just don't want a sedan, and I don't want to spend close to 100k on a four door with an automatic transmission. If I ever spend that much money on a car again I want a manual transmission.
Maybe I'm just not rich enough to be a target customer for the RS6.
Maybe I'm not a typical customer?
(current concept is hotrodding my '36 LaSalle coupe)

Default Luxury sport sedan? That's an A6. RS6 is an oversized sports car.

It's INSANELY fast and from what I've read, agile too.

It could keep up with any 911 or any other true "sports" car.

I think the market is pretty large for these types of cars because people want the speed of a sports car but the room for more than 1 person and MAYBE a laptop.

The demand is HUGE for these cars.

Luxury sport sedan was the term Autoweek used.
