Default RS6 Sedan?

Default Saw one at quattro GmbH in March

Those are new tail lights and trunk lid, though. I like these new ones better...

The one I saw looked like this...

Default new rear is much better. current A6 rear is ugly for me,

The current A6 looks MUCH better as an Avant because the chrome strip is gone and the A6 avant LED tail-lights are sick.

Much more than just new tail lights and trunk lid. The whole car is different.

Default Different compared to what?

The RS6 sedan I saw in person and the car in those photos are the same except the lights/trunk.

If you mean it's different than an A6, yes.

Default Looking at photos again...

I can see it's not that different, my mistake. Body panels, fender flares, door handles, etc all the same.

However, I can't see the front of the one you pictured.
