Default Your just rubbing the deisels in my face, aren't ya? :P

If it were me, I'd be looking for an Avant...but if you'd like a saloon, the B8 is looking good on paper...we'll see how it shapes up.

FWIH, the C6 is a very reliable vehicle with minimal 'dumb little' problems.

Having said that, a coworker/friend has a V70R AWD Volvo (turbo'd gas engine) with a six speed...very nice and very fun to drive.

Tough choices.

Default You bet ya! :P

Tough choices indeed...
The only downside of the B8 2.7TDI is that it's not available in manual, and the others are.
(Or I would have to choose the 2.0 TDI)

Default WTF is up with the pricing. I woudln't chose ANY of those cars at THAT price

All those cars are barely worth half that.
Even if I had money to burn, those cars arent worth that much money.

Default We pay a lot of tax...

All the cars are expensive, it's relative.
Why do you think most Europeans drive smaller cars?
Gas is also US$8 per gallon...
For comparison, my C5 A6 was 70k Euro, or US$ 100k-ish...
