That's the same time as the A6 350ps 4.2 V8 tiptronic! What will the new S4 do with the higher power 3.0TFSI engine? If the S4 version of this engine has the power boosted to the rumoured 333 ps and uses S-tronic transmission and weighs much less than the A6 then the B8 S4 (and RS4) could be faster than I was expecting. Now I am even more eager to see the new S4, rumoured to be introduced at the Paris show in October

Re: 2009 Audi A6 Facelift

It's not doing that much good to the car. Despite the A4 rear lights, the rear looks somehow un-Audi, not really clean. The front LEDs are poorly integrated, too.

The A6 was never my fav Audi, this won't change this fact.

Very underwhelming... It's nice but it could have been so much more...

Re: Audi reveals 2009 A6 facelift

I really like the back - I thought it would look terrible with the new lights, but it looks very classy indeed. Very clean lines throughout the car. I'm not too sure about the positioning of the LED strip in the front light clusters, but in general, I think the clusters look alot more impressive. I think this will keep the A6 looking fresh for a good few years yet. And still such a brilliant interior!

They have taken me by surprise as well. Very tasteful looking rear end on the same level as the facelifted A8.

Indeed. I take it as far as it's the best rear on an Audi right now!

And the interior....oh gosh...class!!!

Re: Audi reveals 2009 A6 facelift

For me, the car always looked good. But no matter how good a car looks, it ages. And nowadays that very nice designs come out every month or so, cars age even faster. So I would expect something more from this facelift. I don't know what it is that i want, but i know that i want more. As many of you said, it is un-imaginative and goes to the boring side. With the new head and rear lights it looks a bit better, but not as much as it should.

The interior is still impressing!



PS. This thing with the taillights, every car - same taillights is very annoying to me!
