Default The A6 4.2? Yes, since Sept.

The A6 4.2 is a new model for 2000 (like the A6 2.7T) and seems to be probably the most popular A6 from what people post. Personally, I'm getting a 2001 A6 2.7T (I didn't think the V8 warranted the additional money personally and, to be honest, even with a 2.7T and 4.2 next to each other, I can't see much visual exterior difference past the non-bumpy washer covers. ). OTOH, I thought the difference in price for the 2.7T over the 2.8 was negligable given the tremendous difference in performance.

Does anyone buy the 2.8 anymore?

Default Re: The A6 4.2? Yes, since Sept.

I drove both the 2.7T and the 4.2, both with and without the sport pkg. (PSK in the case of the 2.7T). While the sport pkg. improved both, I preferred the feel of the 4.2, more hunkered down, brawny V8 and the look with the different front, the muscular and gorgeous 17" $2,500 wheels with the huge Z rated rubber and the fender flares. It also rode significantly better; I believe there are a lot of aluminum components in the suspension. I love the car.

Default I thought the 2.7T was more popular from the number of postings :-) Audi is only making 5900 4.2s...

for the 2000 model year. 2800 of those are coming to the US, which makes it the largest market for the car.

You cant go wrong with either one. It boils down to what types of sensations you prefer.
