Could just be the way the image is rendered to create a surface which looks shiny silvered?

Default I never liked how the MMI in the A6 is like backwards from how it is in the A8...

volume **** on the passenger side? wtf? I suppose it's on the steering wheel too, but still.

Default Actually, the displacement of the twin turbocharged DOHC 40V FSI V10 in the new RS 6 is 5L, not 5.2L

Fortitude made a mistake about the RS 6's twin turbocharged V10's displacement.

I know I asked this question about the new RS 6 last week, but what suspension will the new RS 6 have? Will it be the magnetic ride system (MRS) with Audi dynamic steering (ADS) and adaptive drive system (ADS)? Or, will it be the adaptive electronic air sport suspension from the S8? Or, will it be the crummy hydraulic dynamic ride control (DRC) with the otherwise excellent basic sport suspension?

I have to say, though, the hydraulic DRC with Audi's otherwise excellent basic sport suspension on the 2007 and 2008 RS 4 has been much, much more reliable than on the 2002-2004 (2003 only in the US; 2004 only in Canada and 2002-2004 overseas) RS 6, where DRC is a nightmare.
