Gone she is now....

congrats on the new wheels, sure is a sweet ride and with that v10 power. The interior definitely is an improvement but I agree with the others on the exterior and think the C5 has the styling even after all this time, all the newer cars just look alike.

They are both lowered with aftermarket wheels. There is no way you can say with a straight face that the C5 blows the C6 out of the water in the looks department. That is like saying Rosie O'donell blows Jennifer Lawrence out of the water in the looks department, because she stands out more and has bigger flares. LOL

I am not saying the C5 is an ugly car. But be realistic. When I guy shows up with a brand new C6 RS6, the last thing you would expect to hear is that it looks like a piece of junk compared to a ten year old, dated Audi.

Subjective. This is like saying the C7 Z06 'Corvero' looks better than the C6 ZO6. Not on your life. The C6 platform is bloated - period.

We do have the S6 in North America and because of the manner in which Audi strives to make everything look the same, the C6 RS6 doesn't have enough styling queues to separate it well from its younger brother. The C5 will always look better IMO due to wheel arches bumper treatments, etc. Anyone can alter ride height and bolt on a different set of wheels that floats their boat, but few can alter the hard codes items. I'd put money on the C5 coming out well on top for personal preference styling wise compared with the C6. Now the C7 on the other hand - totally different story.

Congrats on the C6.

I would agree the car doesn't visually portray the aggression I prefer in an RS model, but that motor just about makes up for it.

Now if they would only bring the C7 RS6 to the states, avant or not.. I would be happy. Not much of an A/S/RS7 body style guy.

Gorgeous sample you have there @mik15. Nice trade up.

Nobody knows the C5 RS6 is an RS6 without reading the badges, either. Who cares? I like the sleeper demeanor of our cars. I don't have $#!theads trying to race me at every stoplight.

the C5 has that special sauce which i can't really find it in the C6, yet at least, i don't know why, maybe because the C6 is so good at what it does, maybe because life with the C5 was made up of ups and downs so it somehow created that ownership experience, but i can agree that when looking at the C5 i can't help myself saying that is a beautiful car.

They may not know it's an RS6, and most don't know anyhow. What is known is that it's a bolder stouter car with nicer front mesh bumper, rear oval dual exhaust, nicer body trim and style overall. I try and race the sh!theads

Well said...

I've got a new luxury truck for the fancy new interior stuff, kinda like the RS6 with its dated interior.
