OT(ish): Drove an S8 this week - kind dealer lent me it overnight...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3539/s8ns1.jpg"></center><p>To have a go with NavPlus. Of course, I didn't complain when they only had an S8 to try it in.
I am very impressed, for a big car it handles very well, even on back roads in the country and I think the 4.2V8 suits Tip better than the 2.7T (IMHO of course).
NavPlus is nice as well, you get the main map in the 5" console screen and junction prompts in the DIS in the dash. Couldn't fault it for directional ability either.
If the S6 is anything like (20 less hp and a few hundred extra kilos?) the S8, it will be worth waiting for.

The astute might recognise the photo location from my A6 pictures
This is about half way to work if I go on the back roads (the "main" roads are not much better and full of traffic) and this is about the most convinient spot to stop where you can actually get far enough away from the car to photograph it without getting muddy feet.
