HannibalACP82 Report post Posted May 4, 2014 Those of you who know me know I love Audis. Especially wagons. The original RS6 Avant with the V10 with the Gallardo engine is one of my favorite cars of all time. Well yesterday Audi showed up with an S6 AVANT they are testing here in the US of A! The bad news is they aren't bring the Avant to the US. The worse news is that this car was fully loaded at 160k yet it is being crushed in 3 weeks when the testing is done. BUT........................ .............SINCE I FREAKED OUT OVER THE CAR THEY TOOK ME FOR A RIDE!!!!!!! The guy pulled out on to Rt. 19 then stopped right in front of the Volvo dealership and a wagon they had out front. He put it in to park, engaged launch control and then PLANTED THE ACCELERATOR. No way a car that big should ever move that fast. It was unreal how ferocious it was. On the way back he suggested we try out the giant carbon ceramic brakes and slammed the pedal. Slowing that fast felt like we caught the 3rd wire on a carrier! It was a great day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Do you get the Audi Sportback cars in the US (A5 Sportback, A7 Sportback)? We get the A5/S5/RS5 coupes here and the A7/S7/RS7 sedan/fastback looking thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiBull Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Love it. I toyed with the idea of getting an 03 RS6 five years ago and looked at a few. If they weren't such service nightmares I would have done it. My current bone head idea is finding a V10 S6 and using it as a daily. Doesn't make much sense, but a four door sedan with a high revving Lambo V10 that can be had for Camry money makes it mighty appealing.

You can DD it and have the warranty they sell cover the repairs. You just have to be up for the gas bill of DDing a v10. http://www.carmax.com/search?ANa=429496253...:results%20page Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameer Report post Posted May 6, 2014 The S6 is tame in comparison to the RS6, however in this segment I'd take the CLS63 4M Shooting Brake . It looks a lot better than the Audi to me, I think it's even faster than the RS6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameer Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Blasphemy!!!!! Then again, I wouldn't buy a car in this segment, just seems a bit pointless to me personally. SUV for family and/or daily driving, sports car for fun. Two in one rarely does both things well. Nowhere to use it while going about my daily business either, nor would I use it properly while carrying family, so I don't see the point of having a super fast family car.

I would much rather have a wagon then an SUV. I can always use more power in my daily. Just nice to know it is there if I need it for say passing an 18 wheeler in a short passing zone or dusting the sports car beside me at a light while hauling the wife, kids, dog and groceries!
