The grille looks dopey. Otherwise it's nice.

I HATE the front grill 'thing" or whatever it is supposed to be.

That said, I really like the interior, at least in comparison to Audi's usually bland stylying inside.....


EDIT: I LOVE THE REAR. I'd HOP ON IT ANYDAY

*sigh* another company begins it's slow trend away from forced induction.

It seems strange that Audi spent time developing the direct drive clutch for manuals (found on their TT) but now they don't put it in anything. For some reason, I still don't consider the A6 a worth competitor to the BMW 5series or MB E class the way I see the A4 & A8 versus their competition.

Why bother with this however, when you can get an S4 for nearly the same price....


I'll admit the a6 is aiming at a luxury segment, but speaking about blatant choices..the s4 is fantastic...

Try putting 5 people in an S4

so, audi gets a new A4 a few years ago, a new A6 now, and a new A8 last year... meanwhile... VW still gets the same cars they've had for 7 years now. you'd think that the company that basically perfected platform sharing wouldn't have done something as stupid as move away from platform sharing without having enough new platforms to go around

Hell, just try putting 4 people over 6' in an S4. Two people are going to be licking their knees.

Audi's MMI is actually iDrive done right. It's a huge improvement!

 

[SWScorch]

meh, I like Audis, but I think it looks goofy. The new grille is way too cumbersome, and the rear looks like a Honda.

IMO the whole audi line has pretty much become the same. The 1999 new A4 and A6 designs were very different and could be easily told apart (the A8 looked a lot like the 6000 series IMO). However since 2002 or 2003 when the A4 lost the pointed back to more of a rounded A6 back, it seems the A4 and A6 keep getting more and more alike. Not to mention the new A8 which looks very much like audi's parent company volkswagen's passat. Now with the new A6 rear, it looks very close with the A4's rear. I think audi needs some new radical design.

Although I am a huge hypocrite since my mom drives a 2000 audi A6.
