There aren't any RS6s in the US yet, except for factory cars.

Default Yes, there are very few here...also rare posters...

Black is a very rare color for the S6...although I think it should have been very common. Atlas Grey is by far the most common, followed probably by silver.

Default Damn, that's tight!!! (except for that idiotic placement of the registration stickers in VA! ;)

Outstanding car...I hope you are enjoying it...what interior and seats do you have...my wife and I got the alcantara, but now I wish I got the full leather...looks a little more classic or "elegant"...my wife still prefers the alcantara...and it has shown zero wear in 16k miles...

Default The S6 does sit a little higher than the 4.2 sport...

maybe a half inch or so...but while it may have a little excessive wheel gap like the 3.0, you don't feel it in the corners...

Default Mandatory F/R plates, low tint limits, no fun...

Black on black (of course!) Unfortunately, all of the cars on the lot had the comfort seat option, so I was stuck with those (no lateral support). Love the leather and the alcantara headliner -- it's good to know where the extra cash went.

The car has a few too many squeaks and rattles for my liking (at 11k miles). Had a problem with the brake light sensor and the Bose wiring, that's about it.

Other than that, I love having a unique car (not to mention Quattro + V8 torque). I get a lot of crap from my co-workers for driving an "old man's car" (I'm 25), but a drive around the block usually realigns their perceptions =)
