What the heck is the row of LEDs on the lower bumper for?
Damn it, another car w/ the intergrated navigation on the dash now too. . . so ugly.

The integration of the dash nav is because of new laws forcing manufacturers to make the navigation at eye level, and i think the LED's are for shits and giggles and i assume they look badass at night. I can't wait to see one in person and i hope the U.S. gets more than just the Avant this time. I really wish they'de change the rear tail light design, it's too soft.

It is great looking IMO but I wonder if a manual will be available too
What is interesting is that it doesn't really compete with the M5 or E55 (I suppose the RS6 will ) or even with 545i or E500.

Well - considering this is a de-tuned version of the Gallardo engine... I hope the RS6 gets the real one from Gallardo SE then would be mad!!

I like it a lot, but those LED's on the lower bumper do look very weird.
I think it's got a restrained look, not too flashy. I wonder what they'll make of the RS6. An RS8 would be cool to IMO.

I also like very much this new Audi S6 model. From the stylistic point of view, this S6 is very successful and it's similar to those prototypes that we see a couple of months. Concerning the engine, it's a surprise, although several source stipulated the new S6 engine would be a V10, but for me I were persuaded the engine was the V8 FSI 4.2L 420bhp from the new RS4.
No doubt on that, the next RS6 will be awesome !

I think the car looks great as I have previousle stated, but I also think the engine is too much of a compromise. They held back.
Does anyone know if Audi has fixed the reliability issues with their cars yet?
My neighbor had an S4, but the thing spent more time in the shop than at his house. He has since bought a BMW.

That is a nice audi, I especially like the rims. I think audi makes one of the nicest rims in the market.
