A8L or RS-6? Which way do I go?
My A6 4.2 lease is up in April and the Audi dealer has me on both the lists of customers who will receive one of the first 2 cars that come in. Basically I utilize this car as my everyday driver for work and customer lunches etc. For a sporty ride I have a 993 Cabriolet as my Sunday car and an allroad for hauling kids and Home Depot runs. I'm starting to feel like leasing the A8 makes more sense than having an "exclusive limited production car" to cruise back and forth to work with in bumper to bumper traffic. Feel free to give me some advise and thoughts!

Re: A8L or RS-6? Starting to lean toward the A8L......
U.S. does not get the Recaro seats,
35K more than my 4.2,
Limited color combinations (especially Interior
Even the "show cars" do not have Nav Plus....
HHmmm....an A8L with MMI, same dampening system, and 340 HP seems more and more like I'm leaning toward the A8.

An RS 6 is just a powerfull A6. If you want more of the same but with kick get the RS
if you want a comfortable ride get the A8. You have the 993 why do you want another performance car? The turbo car may overheat in the summer, bumper to bumper, traffic.

RS 6 vs A8L ...
As an owner my self also on an A6 4.2, I must say that I love how it looks good but the first time I saw the new A8, I felt in love with it in a second. The new A8 is the most beautiful Audi ever made! When I saw the A8L for real a Detroit last weekend, close to the RS6, the A8 get my attention more. My choice would defenitly be the A8L if I had the money for it.
