Looks like the RS6 will have some altered bodywork for distinction. :)

Default I'm not feeling the love

I just don't like the A6 styling, and it just doesn't seem like Audi hasn't tried to make the RS6 that unique. To me, it looks like an undistinctive Sedan.

Default 2nd...

from the time the new A6 first came out I thought what did they do to that car?! The styling is AWOL.

Default Seems to me with the RS6, they should have an open book on styling

Look at what they did with the RS4. I find the B7 A4 and S4 body styling unremarkable. But, it's almost as if that body style was meant to morph into the mean RS4 look. I'd leave the sedate sedan look to the S6 and make the RS6 look like a racing sedan.

Default I don't know if...

the A6 body is capable of "morphing" into anything good. It's that bland. Has to be back to the drawing board for the A6 body, IMO.

Default Yes, the RS6 shown could be edgier in style, but with 600 or 650 bhp it would

very likely be the monster that the last one was and would not attract the attention of a racier body style, which to me is the way to be in such a fast car.

Audi's always understated their performance line which is a good thing for us vs. the Polizie.

Default You guys are putting way too much stock in these spy photos...

Remember the RS4 spy pics from way back in the day? It looked like an A4 ultrasport - barely any flares, not very distinctive. It's not like the test mules are going to have the final bodywork, cool headlamps, grills, bumpers, etc that you'll see on the final car.

I agree that the current A6 is really bland, but with some nice fender flares and a mean looking front fascia it could be a good looking car. And to be honest, have they ever disappointed with their RS styling?
