If Audi keeps it up, I may have to reconsider it's FGC designation!  ;D

Fascinating dotchart. Looks like some issues start in year 2, and by year 4-5 its a hopeless cause ;D

We'll see in another couple of model years if the dots start to turn with age, or if the current model is really that much more reliable. :)
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Still think the A6/RS6 is a better looking car than the A7 series....



Wait, I thought the RS6 is only available as an avant, or is that in euro land only?

I dont know for sure......  :-\

We don't get the RS6 here in NA  :'(

I had to google it. Looks like the RS6 is only available as an Avant. I guess the picture of the sedan is a mock-up.

So, the top speed of the RS7 depends on the option packages is either 155 mph, 174 mph or 190 mph. That's over 300 kph for a family sedan :o

dang....   

that's impressive.   but how long does it take to get that speed?  given enough run clear runway, i can get to 170mph-ish, eventually.   ;D

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

Aside from being fantastic looking those LED headlights really set it off. IIRC they are not legal here yet? BMW is also testing the waters with them although I'm not  sure where I read that - maybe it was in Wheels on the weekend.

I think that LED headlights that are in other ways 'standard' are perfectly legal.   That is:  a low beam and a high beam controlled by a switch. Either the American beam pattern or the ECE beam pattern and of course total light emission within the limits.   LED lights like that are just a different 'bulb' in the light.

The NTHSA is fussing about headlights that, 'see' ahead of you and alter the beam pattern and brightness of individual parts of the light unit so as to keep the high beams on while not dazzling oncoming drivers.  Some of the LED lights on new FGCs do this in their home market.....and the sooner they come here for us oldsters with our slow light accommodation and old retinas the better.
The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.

Intriguing. About time someone rethought the navigation display. Love those air vents.

New concept for the Audi allroad shooting break. Very similar interior to the TT but not quite the same (elongated console). I really like where Audi is going with these new interiors. Very stylish and yet pretty minimal with the display integrated into the dash rather than the centre stack. Just look at how nice that dash is without a crappy-ass ugly screen stuck in the middle of it.  :love:

 :thumbup: That looks just about perfect!  Looks a little like an updated Volvo V30 as well... :-\

I love that they are still building flat belt lines, none of this crouching-tiger hidden blindspot crap.
