Default A6 with S Line Package - Thoughts?

What do you guys think? This is one of the six cars I'm considering for the GS replacement. Thoughts?

Oh snap?? The Sline is already out for the new A6??

I personally love the new A6. It is a great looking and performing car. The interior seems to be of usual Audi high quality and the engines seem somewhat intoxicating. But they need to loose a little weight and work out some reliablilty problems. havent heard to much about reliability yet about this model, but it is still pretty new. I think this makes a better alternative to the GS than any other car in its class. Thats just my opinion. Go for it, test drive it, see if ya like it. Doesnt hurt to try it out. Not to mention, there still arent a lot of them out on the road yet. Audi as a whole doesnt sell that many cars.

Order I like most
GS
A6
M45
E-class
S-type
STS
5-series (yes its at the bottom, cause it looks hidious )

EDIT: just checked the Audi website. No S-line package yet, only the 3.2 and 4.2 models and wagon for now.

that looks pretty hot doug. I can't say I'd get a A6 before a GS but the A6 is fine competiton. The materials and build quality are first rate and I like the big grill look on the A6. The cars are priced very well, IMO. And it will be a much rarer beast.

What are your other five options? AWD Audis are popular in my area but I don't see that many new A6.

For my area (IL), the S Line shows as available ($2,650) - at least on the 4.2..

The list of choices (in no particular order)

Subaru Legacy GT Limited
Lexus GS430
M45 Sport
CTS-V
BMW 550
Audi A6

Crap, that's six! I honestly think the 550 will be too much $. Even the A6, may lease out too high. Still that S line looks so sharp.

I'm sorry you are right. I guess I looked over it . I just saw it. Well, like I said before, the Audi A6 is a beautiful car. Test it out and see what you like best. Beautiful alternative to the GS. Matter of fact make sure you test them all out and let us know which one you liked. Good luck.
