Sweet.
The Supercar on the link looks very attractive too.
After 20+ years of MB, i am certain it will be an Audi next.
cheers, d

What do you think of car's design, Dave? Looks a bit bland to me and i'm really not sure about the rims :shocked:

They cant go too radical as they need to save it for the RS6 which is due next year. Looks a bit light on power and a bit slow to me:grin:

I like it more and more.
Car design is generally bland at the moment, probably due to the fact that each manufacturer is using equally competent computer aided design equipment.
I don't feel the 'daily' needs to be an oil painting, especially as i would opt for the avant .... for my fix in the beauty stakes, i would only need to take a peek into the garage.
Technically, it feels superb.
Mals' comment re the power, probably stems from the fact that he (and stewart etc) are currently enjoying slightly higher performance levels with the RS range, but i (and i suspect yourself) don't need all of those horses.
I would certainly look forward to a test drive, but in harsh reality, i would have to wait for used/ex demo prices.
i like it (and the rs4).
cheers, d

you are right of course Dave, but it annoys me that Audi dont realise that buyers of new cars like the RS6 often change their cars after 3 years. I would like to get another RS 6 based on the new A6, but its not due for another year or so. It looks like Audi will be loosing a customer for the time being, unless I decide to plump for the S8, which looks rather nice. But I dont feel old enough for a big saloon yet
