Default Just pulled the trigger: 2008 A6 4.2! Life is good.

Finally turned my 1999 A8 (137k miles)and a 2007 A4 on a new 2008 A6 4.2, Oyster gray with Platinum. Really great car!
Test drove a number of others, Acura TL & RDX, MB Ml320 CDI, and others. None compared to the A6. It just feels right and the sound of the V8 is intoxicating. Should be a lot more reliable that my old A8.
Plan to keep this one a long time.

Default What are you talking about - the V8 makes virtually no sound:)

that's what I like about it. At 15k the engine breaks-in and acceleration kicks in. Enjoy your new ride.

Great choice! My '07 4.2 Oyster Platinum was special ordered and is beautiful. Debadge it for the finishing touch and enjoy the 75 -> 100 zone.

The 4.2 is a great choice.
