Fantastic. Unlike the new A4, this Audi exceeds all expectations and this for a wagon no less. The sedan is going to be incomprehensible, unfathomable, enigmatic, and unfathomable.

Audiholic, sometimes I feel that you have massively unrealistic expectations!

The car is fabulous, albeit it a tad on the obscene side (to quote a friend of mine).

650 Nm, eh? No way you're going to get an S-Tronic transmission to handle that torque unless you pluck the (very different) dual clutch transmission from the Veyron. Sequential manual? You'll fry that clutch with all that torque being available at just 1500 rpm. 6 speed manual gearbox some of you ask? You'll need a left leg that's built like Ben Johnson's and be taking all those "supplements" too. No, I'm perfectly comfortable with a good old-fashioned, robust torque convertor automatic. It's only on a racetrack pushing at 10/10ths that you'll need quicker shifts and besides if it's anything as good as BMW's Steptronic in the 335i (and I'm more than certain it will be) then it'll be darn well suited to the big wagon.

That makes it two of us. The reason is most likely because the RS6 doesn't have the aggressive DTM styling like the C63 and RS4. Further more it is launched in Avant form which doesn't make my left pinky finger tingle.

The styling is typical Audi "nice". Attractive and stylish but without any daring or aggressive details. Overall the design for this car is aimed at the mature crowd. Men over 35 with families.

Most of us prefer cars with a bit more attitude. The front should look mean as a bitch.

So do you feel the M5 and E63 Touring have a more aggressive apearance?

And nothing does that better than the C63,my major problem with the RS6 now is the low torque coming from that monster TT V10!

You should stop bitching about the torque. 650 Nm is more than what the competitors have and that's enough.

I know the torque is just over what the E63 offers,but for that heavy ass car and that big turbocharged engine the torque should be at least 800nm just what i think
