After the magnificent RS4 I have to say that I'm disappointed by the fact that Audi chose a different philosophy with the RS6. So yes, in my humble opinion, the new RS6 is a slight let down.

Re: The RS6 - a disappointment? - 07-06-2008, 11:04 PM

^probably everyone with a licence..
thats why its not exciting to drive
its damn sure footed..
Allthough i love the RS4 wich i still drive atleast 4 times per month..
Its problem is also that its to sure footed..
its very easy to go fast.. no skill required..and some ppl dont like that..

Perhaps the phrase is viewed differently on the continent?

Either way I just want to say that its not possible for the RS6 to be a disapointment as it does everything a car of its class is meant to do. Audi didnt take a A6 and try to make a track car. Audi designed a fast easy to drive comfortable autobahn cruiser, and for doing just that its the best. If you want a car that is sharp and nimble buy one that is to be designed to do so

Poverty pretty much sums it up.

What's the expectation here? A nimble, tippy-toe tarmac dancer or a muscular, planted, clinical road machine? The RS6 has never been about anything other than what this car is exactly. Supreme wagon performance, luxury and exclusivity combined in a very individual package.

But RS6 lost to C63 in a straightline in a race from Drivers Reuplic.

^ I was goin to point that out also they said that the RS6 needs to work it at it's limits to over-shadow the C63.
