it's a bigger and more comfortable car, bulk= less driveability and i don't think there will be another car as nice to drive as an e60.
however V Audi it is 2 classes above the A6, and sleeker and sportier than the E class, which means they will sell as you will only have 1/3 option when you buy

did anyone notice the interior was better on the F10?

KC - did u have a chance to step on it???

I think the F10 will sell much better than our e60 and the interior is much better than our e60 too.

unfortunately not, too much traffic and w the daughter sitting at the back w no child seat. I was able to go full throttle in the x6 going up to parkview but not able to reach red line and the engine just sounds fantastic.

BMW is using new power steering assist so the newer steering doesn't respond as good as the older model. It's just a mere feeling ... after you sit in the car and drive it for a good amount of time, you will get used to it. Just like the appearance of the new F10, you will need time to get used to the look.
