Rumor has it that the new S6 will have a turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that makes around 450 hp.

As i dont like 2012 design, then i also would take 2011 S6.
P.S. i think the best looking front have A7 and A5. Rear of the new A6 i dont like even more But maybe i need some time to start loving it.

I think more fun would be behind M1 steering wheel. But again M3 is beautiful visually.

Not sure what kind of crack OP is smoking to think the new A6 is faster than the last S6. The S6 would absolutely crush the A6 in any kind of race. It's a full second faster in the 1/4, with a much better trap speed.

maybe 0 to 60 the new A6 is low 5s and if the old s6 is high 4s then very close. when the new s6 comes out it will separate himself from the new a6. But im impressed with low 5s for A6. i would get over the 535.

I drove the 2011 A6 3.0 while my S6 was in the shop getting all ten injectors replaced. While the A6 did not have the throaty growl of the S6, that thing could and did scoot! It lacks the cache of the S6 and the sound but enjoys much better fuel economy without losing much on the performance side. I thought about looking had at the 2012 A6....and then came to my senses.

Have you even seen the new A6 in person, rumbish? Pictures don't do the car justice.

Ofcorurse And i can say, that I DONT LIKE. Front - too many leds,looks strange. Rear side - something wrong with tail light forms or somethnig else...cant say. Interior is nice.

I will repeat - from design point of view, i like A5 and A7. Both very nice. But new a6 still dont like.

I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU. A5 is best looking with the new A7 right behind.
