New S6 Review on MSN Carpoint - she rates it an 8....

LOL regarding her negative comments on how dirty the backend gets. What automobile (especially wagon or van) doesn't get dirty in the back during normal driving? Another controversy? Audi's have a design fault in that the S6 body styling allows aerodynamic forces to create an excessive vaccuum in the backend which allows excessive amounts of road spray to be drawn and attached to the backend of the S6

Also, her comments regarding who expects this performance from a wagon is funny as well.<ul><li><a href="http://carpoint.msn.com/vip/Job/Audi/S6%20Avant/2002.asp">http://carpoint.msn.com/vip/Job/Audi/S6%20Avant/2002.asp</a</li></ul>

I liked how 3" is apparently only a "slight edge" in rear legroom... :-)

Yeah, and "Low Ride Height" is a Con!?! What's in her pipe?

She says the low ride height is a Con also...

Other than those things she really seems to be complimentary about it.

No doubt. Oh, but It's convenient when you load stuff through the tailgate

Is she suggesting it should be 12 feet taller so that you can then see over the trucks???

Why is she surprised that in a wagon, that one cannot not "see above or around trucks...vans...and SUVs"...duh, I can't in my sedan either.
Except for a few inconsistencies...she's reasonably fair for an Audi novice pitching to an audience of commoners.

And, how is "Who expects this performance from a wagon?" a "Con"????? I guess it should be slow and pitch and roll a lot she can put that in the "Pro" column
