Just drove the new A6 this evening. You guys sure do have a sweet engine.
Wow that car is amazing. It is such a step forward it is unbelievable. In the flesh it's beautiful. This one was a copperish metallic red. It was stunning. When I got back in the A4 after driving it I was amazed at how old the interior looked. The interior is edgy and modern and designed for the driver. This model was Euro spec so it had the European sport suspension which was great. I really had no idea that the car was so big. Through the corners it felt a lot like the A4 just a bit more planted. Sure the weight was evident but it doesn't hurt the driving experience. It had the European six speed auto which I found quite aggressive. The blips on the downchanges were just as nice as the DSG if not as smooth. Those revs sure did sound great. It's quite a motor. It revs and sounds just like an S4 I guess because it is. It's louder than the RS6 if not as stupidly fast. The engine was limited to 6000 rpm instead of the 7000 redline but it didn't need those extra revs. It pulled like a freight train up into triple digits. If this is the direction the new A4 is going I am putting my order down tomorrow. I love this car. It would be a damn shame to water it down for the American market. It's perfect as it is. I didn't have a camera but I'll post some pictures once one of the other guys from AZ Audi gets them up.

Except from GermanCarFans.com.
<b>"The backpressure-optimised dual-branch exhaust system is an entirely new development. It consists of special middle and rear silencers, large-section pipes and primary and main catalytic converters with a metal substrate. Thanks to careful tuning it has been possible to compose a powerful sound that is sporty across the entire speed range. The Audi RS 6 satisfies the EU3 emission standard."</b>
