May be it's just the color( GS in silver,A6 in dark grey) but the A6 looks more boxy and less dynamic than the GS. The GS looks fast even when stationary.

I wish GS was same fast in movement, but alas, GS drivers will see mostly a6 tail lights far away.

A6 sexier wheels otherwise my vote for GS look. Anyone wants to share interior pictures comparing to GS.

^WHAT? The A6 comes with about the same power as the GS. The GS is no slouch. BTW, the A6 looks bland to me.

those luxury package wheels make GS looks good... Premium wheels suck.

Spwofl,

Are you sure??? The Luxury package wheel is what many people hate. Too busy and bland. The premium wheels we see in this picture is the best of the 18 inch rims and is cleaner sharper and has a nice polish look to them!

Yeah, those are the luxury wheels...much better than the "premium".

F-Sport > Luxury > Premium

No, those are the premium optional 18 inch wheel package.

Description:
18-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with Superchrome finish and all-season or summer tires

The Luxury rims are not shown above and they are horrendous in person. Too bland busy and ugly.

These are two similar cars in the segment in that they place priority on driving and are fighting for 3rd place. Given that the design approach to both is quite different, the Audi is harder and leaner, while the Lexus is softer and more sculpted. I like them both but find the A6 design a bit too sterile.
