"The car is ridiculously fast, at 4.7 seconds to 100 km/h it feels like getting punched in the back of the head with a silk boxing glove."

In one of the captions for the photo of the seats it reads, " The Recaro-made RS 6 embossed front seats are as supportive as any in the midsize premium class" on page two but from looking at the seats I find this to be a false statement. Am I wrong on this?

"the car's power delivery from a rolling start was so immediate chills went up and down my spine. The adrenaline rush was so intoxicating I had one of those hysterical moments when all I could do was giggle out loud in silly glee."

I couldn't agree more, as I had the exact same reaction during both of my RS 6 test drives!

it is a wonderful car, but it just happen to arrive too late here in canada. it's great for the traction where most cities here can use. but the competitions (E55 and upcoming M5) are just too tempting.

no avant, no RS6 plus, and not even the Audi Exclusive, and an introduction at the end of the model year is just poor marketing sense for Audi NA.

good luck selling those 90 cars, audi.

(from what i was told by the dealer, most of the people with deposits are just sitting on it... not ordering.)

Have about 1200 miles and from a stop not impressed from a roll it rocks.

What I don't understand is I have '04 S4 always trying to impress me.

I found it interesting that according to the article, the E55 costs $4K more in Canadian dollars (vs. $6K less in USD). Also, according to specs at end, the Canadian version somehow lost almost 200 lbs.

Maybe we should find out more about the Canadian automotive diet!
