Arrow New Audi A6 (real life pics)

The front grill used to bug me - but it's been growing on me. Plus the grill looks a LOT better in person, so for anyone who hasn't seen one yet, reserve judgement until you see it up close.

Seriously man, your sig is killing me. You must have seen the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" page. Cracks me up everytime.


On topic - I still like the current model better, I'll wait to see this one in person but it's not bad looking.

The exterior is still not appealing to me, but that interior (especially the center console and instrument cluster) is just pitiful. I think they did a much better job on the new vee dubs that are coming out.

If all their cars look exactly the same you'd think Audi could actually make it look good. While Benz styling gets played out after about 2yrs, lack of Audi sales could keep that look distinct for a good while longer.

That interior is unimpressive compared to all the other guys except maybe cadillac. Looks like the Japanese raised the bar in this aspect.

I'm not a big fan of the steering wheel, but I do like the interior. Every car magazine praises Audi for their interiors. My wife had a '98 A6, and I have to admit the interior is nicer then the interior of the GS.

Hmmm...looks ok in the pictures but I'd have to see in in real life to really pass judgement on it

Very nice car. I love the smooth lines and the interior is flawless. Price is good as well.

I really like the exterior. With a drop and some 20s, it will look very agressive. Sorry but the interior looks very old already. Too many buttons, too much clutter and why is the NAV screen as big as the screen on my cell phone?

I set inside two different new A6s in Miami Auto Show and actually I like them. Inside are much better than new 5er which is total disaster. God I hate 5 series...

But one Audi that blew me off was A8L W12! You just had to see the freakin interior/exterioir combo it had. It was a Euro spec model and it featured some crazy exterior Blue/Green pearl effect color which is option that costs 2000 Euros (Ouchh..) and it will not be offered in states (Suckss..). Interioir was so called Sand which is bright yellow/beige but more yellow with maple light brown wood trim. Crazy!

Audi A8 is simply gorgous and one of the best looking large cars ever made inside and out.

Looks nice to me however the new Lexus GS > Audi A6...

Also don't you think the Saturn L-Series and Audi A6 rear look kinda similar?
