It's not a small car sure, saw one in munich a wee while back, and it looked very nice though. The whole, practical supercar thing is getting to the point where I wonder whether people will be spending £76k just because it's the top of the range, not because they are going to cut loose in one. Still if I had the cash, I might consider it...
with anything close to that power you'll be glad of quattro awd ..... especially in the first few months of ownership

I can;t see the point in high powered estates, they're too long and bulky to ever use it... at least you can use a saloon on a track a bit more, especially M3/RS4/C63 size.

i can see the point in em much more than in the sporty suv's we are now buying wholesale....quicker, nicer to drive, beter to look at..and your not immediately cast in the role of social pariah by the rest of the audience at little farquar and elsbeths school play when you roll up in one...also, going way back to 280te merc estates and volvo 850 t5s right up to the current day. you usually have stealth in your favour...just remeber, the loudest man in the room usually says nothing worth hearing.....its the quiet ones ya gotta watch..
10 years back, i could see the point in the super estates. The supermarkets closed at 10 p.m. and you needed the power to get there before closing time and get your vegs. Nowadays, 24 hrs shopping so maybe not. But then if i had the money...
nissan got there first really .... a tuned stagea could easily exceed the new RS6 on power

I have never, ever understood why an estate car, designed for the family/carrying boxes around, would be given a supercar engine and the saloon version not so!

Very true.
The A6 is a nice looking saloon that would lend itself to RS6ification very well.
Another manufacturer (not a million miles away from Audi HQ) would lop the frames off the doors & tell you the A6 was a coupe!
i know iv got strange taste, but i prefer the estates..particulary in the audi range..the estates always seem to look more sporty than the saloons, case in point being the old 200 turbo...the saloon was an ok looking 'supersaloon' for the day, the avant was like a four door coupe, much sportier and much more at home at the ski slopes in st moriz...or the car park at sainsburys...
