[/quote]ARGH!!! tell me about it! Waaaaay too many idiots on the freeways. I especially hate the ones that dont keep up with traffic ahead of them in the fast lane and just cruise bogging down traffic and creating a traffic jam while other drivers try to over take him on the right side. Cops need to ticket these people... they cause more problems than ever.

We have lots of them here too ... And overtaking from the wrong side could result in a ticket.

Cops WILL give you a huge ticket for overtaking on the right in Germany.

I used to have a 1999 A6 for 4 years, and loved it.? It was a smooth, albeit uninspiring car.? The fit and finish, seating material...etc was all world-class caliber.
My only major gripe about the A6 is its poor resale value.? I imagine that as Audi improves its image, the resale value will rise.
I would definitely choose the A6 over the comparable Mercedes E class.

rofl - speaking of trade-in value. i was on KBB tonight.
'04 530i w/ options i have was brand
new: ~$57K
Trade In: ~$41K
oh yeah ... all of that in 3 1/2 months.
my audi kept better that way ('04 A4 1.8t qmt6 loaded)
new ~$34K
trade in w/ 32,000 miles in 11 months ~$24K
its ok though .. my insurance droped by $800/year w/ the bmw - surprisingly since its nearly double the price, and i could imagine much more costly to fix due to the materials used (alum.).

The outside styling of the new A6 looks pretty good, but the interior is terrible. specially the steering wheel, it make the car look very old styled.

I saw my first new A6 today from the rear. At first I thought it was a new A8...but alas it was the new A6 with the open-mouthed grill. Just like the E60, the 3/4 rear-end view seems to be my favorite angle. It's a handsome car...I'm going to have to go to Rusnak in Pasadena and go for a test drive!
