Absolutely brilliant design and execution... the A6 has been winning awards left and right. Congratulations to the Audi industrial design team -- you truly show the industry how it's done.

My parents have an A6 (1999) and I don't like it. It's really big and heavy, not that comfortable on the inside, automatic, not that fast, and guzzles gas. Definitely not my type of car.

Why? Because people like cars, gadgets, and expensive stuff they may never afford. It's what we like to call "fun".

One could make the argument that you're taking precious time out of saving innocent, hungry children to post on a forum about why people are wasting their time yapping on about cars. But, I wouldn't be making that argument - just saying one could

Meh it's still an Audi and it still has the worst suspension in the world (comfort-wise).

Sell your computer and give the money to the children next door!

The A6 will be my next car...

Jeremy Clarkson seems to think the DB9 is the best car in the world, and after watching his test drive, maybe it is.

He's British, the car is British. That's all you really need to know.

You should tell him that. I'm not sure he is aware of it.

Gladly.


Yo, _?_ !!

Nowadays, Ford owns Aston Martin - so while not entirely impossible, it is rather unlikely that the DB9 is really the best car in the world. And what the heck - if I already dish out a quarter million $$$ for a car it better not have Original Ford&trade; buttons, switches etc. that make a Lego brick look like high-end material in comparison (at least that's one of the complaints I remember reading about previous AM's.) Btw, I probably wouldn't have picked the A6 as the world's best car, either.

What is this obsession that some car manufacturers have these days with making the handbrake a teeny weeny little electronic button? What's wrong with proper levers and stuff?!?
MI5 doesn't do evil. Just treachery, treason and armageddon.

Because it's a parking brake, not a hand brake. It doesn't matter to most drivers. Plan on doing a couple of quick 180's, are you?
