    2015 S6 is very nice...

    Was around a bunch of Audi's this weekend. Wow, has the S6 really improved in style, can't say about the performance but the numbers look good. Of course Premium Package S6 will run you $85k, but damn it looks good. The S6 from 2013 or so is not nearly as stout and aggressive looking as the new ones, impressive. The RS5, TTRS, RS7, A6 TDI, V10 R8, and others seem ok too...I'll dig up some pics. Check out an 2015 S6 in person if you can, makes our poor beast look a bit outdated.

    Edit; Might be the 2016 Model it looks like by the listings, but around $80k. The 2014 just doesn't seem to have as much style or strength. I swear the new one is a bigger car, bit longer than the RS6.

    Not getting a new car anytime soon, but I've been thinking of waiting 5-6 years for a used RS7, just can't get over how bad/bland the rear end looks on them.

    Edit2; Pics...RS7 turbos on top, nice! Click image for larger version.

    Some more of the RS7...matte grey is very nice, but I thought some of the lines/curves of the car didn't look clean with the matte for some reason. Here she is, used they want $110k, yikes. http://www.audinorthhouston.com/cert...a8f37c3abe.htm

    It's not the color that's throwing you off, it's that awful rear end!

    I love the rear of the A/S/RS7, personally. I don't like the matte colors myself, either.

    The RS7 is a love/hate type of car. I work for Audi and have never seen such a polarizing RS car. Looks aside- it's performance is it's strength. The RS7 and S8 are the only 4.0's that we classify under " Heavy" motor . It basically means Weapons Grade build.

    The new S6 is much nicer than the 15's , but the main advantage is that it's now on our MIB Evo platform which gives one USB functionality, 4G LTE WiFi instead of the old MMI 3G in terms of AudiConnect. Processor is Invidia based...so stupid fast compared to Gen1.

    No real performance gain from the 13/14/15 MY's except a mild bump in power. Love the full Navi screen privilges in the center cluster as I am not a fan of pop up screens at night.

    I just took home a 2015 S4 loaded as it's one of the best bang for the buck cars we make, but I am building myself an RS3 as we officially are getting it here in the USA- I think this will be our game changer.

    Sums it up quite well...the 2016 S6 Premium is a nice sight in person, just a bit of flare around the wheels, decent rear end, aggressive front.

    The RS3 is going to be a little monster; can't wait! Do you mind if I ask what you do for Audi? Corporate or dealership position? I used to sell Audis a few years ago; still wish I could go back but there's no high-performing dealerships close to me with openings.

    Short stint with Corporate but didn't want to relocate to Herndon VA...so I am a Technology Manager at a retail dealership. Better money as well. It's an awesome time to be in the Audi business. We have a supply issue these days...everyone wants to drink the Koolaid : )

    RS3 is sedan for now, but there's a good chance the hatch will be coming as well. The 5 pot is a better version of the TTRS motor which already has tuned 700+ versions floating around.

    For me the big draw is the Magnetic Ride which will be a better version than what's currently on the S3. This is what truly aids in the driving the RS closer to 7-8/10ths . Our current S-Tronic is knocking at the door of PDK shift block times and will keep the IHI turbo of the 5 cylinder in the sweet spot at all times. I just hope the US version gets the 6 piston brakes with CCB option.

    Chris Harris is testing an RS3 hatch starting today. Expect a video review in a week or so...the Ferrari 488 GTB review is very nice, wonderful test track also.
