    It is probably the only YELLOW RS6 in the US or anywhere for that matter. Carbon Fiber trim was an option on the RS6. My guess is that 60-80% of the RS6's that I have seen have the carbon fiber trim option.

    I don't think I've ever seen one without the carbon fiber? What else is there to choose from? Wooden?

    Yea, you are probably right. It may be more like 90% of the RS6's that come with carbon fiber. Although most people prefer it, I really did not like the carbon fiber. It was pretty difficult to find a RS6 without it when I purchased mine.

    Mine has the standard gray poplar wood like a regular A6. Europe was originally going to have aluminum and black piano wood as options but I can't recall ever hearing about anyone getting either.

    Personally, I much prefer the carbon fiber interior to the poplar.

    The RS6 on ebay is almost up to $75,000 with 30 bids. That's good news for resale.

    Yes indeed. I think all this talk from others about poor resale originally started from BMW spies! It's all propaganda to make us convert!

    Sturs,

    That yellow with the yellow wheels is in Sth Florida. I've seen it a couple of times. It might be one of the ugliest cars I have seen. Yellow does not look right on the saloon (better on the estate car). The yellow wheels are train wreck.

    I think Champion Motorspots did the wheels ... sorry but someone had a brain fart on that one.

    i'll agree to that.. IMHO, the louder colors do look much better on the estate:cool2:

    its the window tinitng that gives it even more of that sport look.
    like the red rs6 avant in one of the gumball videos.
