Default New Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro, 1st test

http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...i-quattro.html

This one did okay, to be sure. Handling numbers are stellar for any similar car. That said, it could be better considering 2 things: 1, it's an Audi. 2, it costs what an Audi costs.

Seems to share the same problem as the Camaro and more in line with the Charger or Challenger... Heavyweight. Thing is, this heavyweight doesn't have a heavyweight engine. Much like the aforementioned Dodge products, before the current 6.4L.

Those higher line Audis are pretty nice but $71k?!
They threw a lot of options at it that's for sure.

The M3 is not in the same category as the A6, the 535i is.

The A6 3.0tfsi starts at 50k.

Still not a bargain by any means though.

Might have to agree with you on that one... that new 5.0 looks really promising, and the Hyundai V8 sounds really good with a more open exhaust. Even the V6 is looking better and better
