I do agree re the regular A6. When I got my 545 and later my 550 I looked at the A6 4.2 too and it really is no match for the V8 BMW's. In fact Audi inadvertently put me in a BMW - I drove straight from the Audi dealer having driven the A6 4.2 to the BMW dealer, then having tested the 545 right after the A6 I got the 545 on the spot. (that said, and with apologies for harping on about the S6, you'll have to believe me that it does genuinely feel and drive nothing like the regular A6!)
On a light note, one could sense an underlying attraction for the Rings in some posts on this thread, nothing wrong with that. Hell, I'm an Audi fan as well and own one. The new TT is very good, the RS4 is exceptional, and I'd take an R8 over the 911 anyday. Its likely not my last one either. One takes exception to the unfair Audi rips that occur ocassionally on this board. Audis are not VWs and are impressive cars. Getting better all the time. I do hate Mercs so some therapy is needed.
I'm gonna take the S6 for a ride soon and looking forward to the drive. That said, my 550i is such a damn good car. It does everything well and works fine in the snow and rain. And looks the best to me, except for the Quattroporte. We'd be completly spoiled if it weren't so darn expensive.
