I saw the A6 at the Audi dealer today before the official launch on the 12th. As mentioned here, the interior build quality does feel better but I would still keep my E60 any day. The steering wheel in the car looks horrible (the same shape as the new Audi grille). Prices may seem cheaper but standard equipment is not as good as the E60 like for like IMO.

If anyone has the new A6 brochure. Take a look at the alloys featured on the car. Its an exact copy of the E60's 123 style alloys!!!!! No kidding. The copying of the E60 style has begun.

Don't change, stick with your E60.

Stick to the real thing, rear traction. The rest only to check in the mirror....

i'd rather take the new infiniti m45 and new acura rl (new body styles for both)than the new a6. the look of the car is very conservative compare to the e60. the interior is much nicer than the current model but the grille looks too big. unlike the new royce rolls...big grille, big car (big bucks, too!), makes sense. and you don't have the "what-kind-of-car-you-drive?-wow-bimmer?!" type of thing going .
