This is what your loaded A6 looks like when you're walking up to it after a quick stop to the store:

Whats more important is not just looks but how well the car handles, brakes, and accelerates and does its daily job. Also how reliable it and maintenance cost. We are bashing looks too much that it makes it tiring. All of the cars will appeal to everyone and they all look good. However the GS drives and rides very well better than a base BMW 535i which I had and is similar to the A6. I do like the A6 alot but will get it after 3 years with the TDI engine. My 2006 A8L has 165k miles now and will be used on weekends and it runs smooth and fast and is very reliable.

The GS could've said "Honda Accord" on the back and would've rated #1. C&D just looks for any reason to knock Toyota or Lexus.

I had to LOL at the thread title. Who in the hell still uses 56k. Its 2012, not 1995.

I like the way the Audi looks. I'll still buy the 4GS though, but hard to beat the A6 in the looks department.

GS FTW

Vs the A7 though... I'll take the A7. I'd even consider the A5 sportback 5-door if it wasn't an overseas model only. Basically they stretched the A5 sportback design and came up with the A7. A7 is much higher in price though.

Now compare the A6 to the A5 Sportback...

I think the A5 looks much better, and is cheaper.

Default A6 Owner

I've got a loaded A6 now. mine has the LED headlights, dynamic cruise, etcetera. The fog lights are integrated into the light group. It has plenty of power. Google maps and searches are great. I've used the wifi a couple times. I have HUD and night vision.

I like the conservative looks. The only downside was the cost. The upgraded sound was $6000. My gas mileage is just over 20 mpg. I've had no problems to date.

I'm looking forward to seeing the interior of the GS. Competition is good.

I think they both look good, and I like the A6's style, but like most German cars, it looks great from far away, but bland and sterile close up IMO.

The problem is that it looks almost exactly like the A3/A4/A5 just stretched out more.

I love how the A5 looks... it is really great looking car, no question about it, no matter what version.

But I dont think A6 looks anywhere as good in real life as in pics... nor do Audi interiors in general.
