Nothing wrong with Costco but I'd argue it's natural habitat is more like the autobahn or a back road

It spends more time running for groceries at costco than it does on the autobahn, unfortunately....

Love this color. Can't decide if I want to trade my '16 Glacier White for this color or just wrap mine...

Tough decision. Both good color choices. For me the hardest decision in spec'ing this car was deciding on a color. They are all great, but I narrowed it down to these three:. daytona gray, florett silver, or sepang blue. I also love the black but my last two Audi's were black.

Over the weekend I installed my roof rack and went for a ride. I think this car looks great with the racks on and carrying some bikes. But I take the rack off when I'm not using it bc I don't like the mileage hit and also it makes a slight bit of noise and that bothers me.

Wait, what kind of headlights are on that S6? Or did they redesign the DRL's for MY17?

These are the non-LED for MY16+. Pretty rare indeed as most ones I've seen for sale have the LEDs for low/high beams. Other change from 13-15 is that these have a blinker that is a LED too.

Yep. These are the xenon+ headlights. For MY 16 and 17 these are standard on the premium plus. But they are being phased out. According to the order guide that recently came out, for MY 18 the premium plus will include the LED headlights.

I think not many people spec the S6 without checking the box to upgrade to the LEDs. But for me I liked the look of these. They're sort of retro and sporty in my opinion. And they function quite well.

And one other change from 13-15 is that these have integrated fog lights like their more expensive brethren, which is a nice touch.
