Default How fast is the S6? My dealer has a 2002 leftover that...

I was thinking about. It really is a nice looking car. It has the Tiptronic tranny (did the US even have the option of a manual?)

I have an S4 now, and am considering the new S4, but extra back seat space would be nice for the kids.

TIA.

Default Faster than a non-S Boxster

Pretty quick for a big comfy sport wagon.

No, no manual tranny in the U.S.

My A8 is as quick (stats) as my wife's non-S Boxster. An S6 is quicker.

Default Feels faster than the numbers lead on...plus, got 2 compliments today...

one from an "old" lady around 55 or so...driving a POS old Escort wagon...at the gas station..."wow, that is a beautiful car, what is it? did you get it overseas?"

Next, just 3 minutes later at the entry gate to the base...the army reservist guard, "you have an awesome car sir"...

It gets lots of stares at red lights...yesterday a guy in a Taurus tried to race me Certain ethnic groups other than plain-old whitey like me really like the wheels, get lots of "thumbs-up" from VW and Audi drivers...pretty fun overall...

What color is this S6? Amulet really is da sh*t!

Default i would call it 'powerfull'

it has a tone of pull on the highway. punch it and you'll go from 65 to 95 in a dangerous hurry. also, the steering, suspension, brakes are well-balanced to the power.

Default Black is my second favorite S6 color...really, really nice...

they are all nice actually...but some just stand out more than others...I'm sure the RS 6 wheels are part of the reason the wife's S6 gets as many looks as it does...but I guess a big red gumball looking wagon isn't very subtle either...

Black is sweet...very sweet.
