Just posted written review from Fox News on the Audi S6, S7, S8:
"S6 : The Super Sedan
This is a very tidy thing. The S6 drives like a littler car, with quick, point and shoot responses. The 420 hp V8 is perfectly matched to the package in true not too big, not too small fashion.
Audi’s all-wheel-drive system is absolutely inscrutable here. You don’t buy a car like this to get yourself in trouble, and it won’t let you. Between the grip on hand and the torque-vectoring differential, even on sloppy roads coated in wet leaves it’s a chore to get things out of shape.
The S6 sorts out your mistakes without ever giving you the feeling that robot has taken over, going about its computer-controlled business in a very subtle way that doesn’t ruin the mood. Much credit goes to the electrically-assisted steering, which has a direct, natural feel that’s as good as any of these systems and better than most.
Power delivery is immediate, with no delay as the turbos to spool up. They were designed to deliver strong power at all revs and do. With the transmission dialed into sport the shifts are crisp with whether left to its own devices or when you grab one of the paddles behind the steering wheel."
