Jeremy Clarkson tests the S6 Avant and he doesn't like it at all!!!

Ohhhh ...not good.

This is sad really ...because this is one car I really really like ...but after reading Clarkson's review I feel Audi have failed to meet their potential with this car.

Clarkson makes a significant mistake, S6 is a luxury cruiser made to be fast but also easy to use on everyday basis. The RS6 will cover the hardcore , driver oriented supersedan segment.
Judging a car based on what we expect it to be is totally wrong.

That's odd... I don't think other reviewers have found the ride quality to be such a big issue.

Re: Jeremy Clarkson drives the Audi S6 Avant. - 10-22-2006, 04:28 AM
Well, I have to agree with him on this:

Fine. But it produces only 429bhp. That’s just a gnat’s more than you get from the V8 in an RS4, and it’s nearly a hundred less than you get in a Lamborghini Gallardo. Why? Audi owns Lamborghini so it’s not as if the Italians have “lost” a hundred horses as some kind of latter-day payback for losing the war. And it’s not like the Audi boffins were wary of what happened the last time a mass-production car was given a monster engine . . .

I saw the S6 Avant several times and it's really a sleeper. I begin to also think that they should name it A6 5.2 instead. Cause it's not THAT super, to be called an S. 435hp from a V10 has been and IS disapointing.
Waiting for the RS6.

Seems like even the ride sucks badly to be a luxury crusiser. There was one other comparison than mentioned the ride was worse than both M5 and E63.

Erik the guy behind the site rs6.com was also disappointed by the new S6 and this coming from a huge audi fan.

Hopefully the RS6 is just around the corner and it will shut a lot of mouths like the RS4 did.
