My RS6 is a daily driver in sub zero and 110 plus temperatures and has been accross country twice in the last year.
Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I think these cars are built very well and will hold up (with the occasional hiccup) so long as you treat them responsibly.

Decidedly so! No boost = no sale.

^^^Exactly!

Sounds good to me! Maybe I'll pick one up in '11 when my current RS6 starts showing its age ;-)

I'm counting on V10 TT at this stage. Now for the real dealmaker/breaker. Since 6-speeds are totally out of the question and I've been beaten into submission on the point, please give me SOMETHING other than a big chrome sailboat-wheel T-handle with wood trim. Don't ask me to deal with park, neutral, reverse, drive, and all that minivan garbage please. At least tell me the DSG is in there so I can feel like I got SOMEthing beyond the A6 2.8 no-quattro transmission. No silver T-handle with burl wood buttons.. PLEASE. No 2-second delay and power-cut/forward-lurch when depressing the gas pedal for acceleration.

They have been on the verge of releasing a supercharger for the B7 S4 for almost a year. They have been saying "next month" since last March.

But a DSG? I highly doubt it will happen, so it's probably going to be a Tiptronic or nothing. I'll just have to get used to the tip.

I'm not saying I don't want it. I'm just a little concerned about maintenance.
