"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." :hahahehe:

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! :wo:

it is a wonderful car, but it just happen to arrive too late here in canada. :cry: it's great for the traction where most cities here can use. but the competitions (E55 and upcoming M5) are just too tempting. :bye2:

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. :doh:

good luck selling those 90 cars, audi. :race:

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

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!:D
