Default Join in to beg for the S6

If all of us beg, maybe.....
I RECENTLY WROTE AUDIUSA: Please get the S6 brought to North America. I have a deposit in with a dealer already. There is money for you and fun for lots of drivers waiting in North America. Please, I beg you, get us the S6.
AUDIUSA WROTE BACK: We certainly appreciate your interest in the Audi S6. Despite rave reviews in Europe, we have no plans at this time to bring the S6 to North America; however, since Audi vehicles are designed to satisfy the wants and needs of our public, we will refer to your interest in this model when future product recommendations are discussed.<p>george

Be careful what you wish for. The V8 would make the heavy A6 even more so, at the expense of handling. A chipped 2.7T is the way to go, just as a chipped 1.8T is a superior handler compared to a 2.8 due to weight issues! My 2.7T stickered out at over 46K, how much cash do you think you are going to have to drop on an S6???? SM

Default Moyles, have you ever driven a 4.2L. With sport pkg. this car IMHO handles better than

a 2.7T and feels infinitely better. I feel, without question, there is a substantial market for an S6 in relative terms. The fact that it has a V8 makes it more appealing.

Default No need to beg...they may be coming...

George, That is the exact same(word for word) reply that I got from AudiUSA last year when I asked the very same question. Just guessing here, but I'm thinking its an automated reply. From my dealer last week I got word that the S8 and the S6 Avant WOULD be coming to the US next model year. I've had this confirmed as being accurate too.

Might handle better than a 2.7T with those family car tires, but not one with real tires in 17. Havent driven a 4.2L but it doesnt have a manual trans. Feels better? Maybe the feeling of the 300HP feels better, but the new PSK should feel the same as the 4.2 sport package no?

My comments apply to PSK 2.7T vs. 4.2 w/sport pkg. It looks better too!
