Default RS6 and A8...

I went to my Audi dealer and test drove the new A8. AMAZING. Does NOT feel like a big car at all. Needs a little more power though.

When I called the same dealer a few months ago, I was told all RS6s were sold and I would have to PAY a deposit and wait in case someone drops out. Well, out of 4 RS6s coming in July/Aug, 3 are now available for sale. Nice car but it's a) overpriced, b) had bad experience with Audi turbos and c) for $86K, I'll buy an E55 thank you.

You know, I also drove the A8 yesterday, and liked it very much, but it was missing a few options, that when added on, would bring the cost up to about 78M. Also, dealer told me there was at least one RS6 available, maybe more, but I think I will pass on both of them, as the cost is really, in my estimation, a little pricey<sp?>
since they will be getting at least list for both of them.

Default I am going to test drive the A8 soon but I agree with you on RS-6.

The Rs-6 was a missed oportunity for AOA to have the killer deal of the decade. If they were as aggressive in pricing the RS-6 as they were with the 2.7t the RS-6 would have been legendary. As it is the RS-6 is an interesting and way overpriced sedan.

Audis are pretty much the worst in the lux class though.
