You'd pay ~$50k for a FWD 4-banger??????????????

According to the Audi USA website, the A6 2.0T starts at $42K. Not sure where you get the $50K from. But yes, I would pay the extra $8K for the bigger engine and QUATTRO ftw.

Actually $45,920 because he said Premium PLUS.


W/o options, add on tax and yes, he is exactly right that he'd be paying almost $50K for a wimpy 4-cyl, FWD midsize sedan.



I dont think its a gouge at all where the 3.0 Quattro is priced. Especially considering the competition. They shouldnt even offer the 2.0.

Ok, Then $50K 2.0T Premium Plus is definitely not worth it. I can see that it might be a good buy if it equipped with Quattro. Otherwise, I agree that FWD 4 banger shouldn't cost over $50K!

Believe it or not, there will be people who buy the A6 and couldn't care less about quattro and the 3.0T. The 2.0T provides a much lower price of entry and that's enough for some people to consider the A6. Besides, the 2.0T already scoots in the A4, and the A6 weighs only a little more (and nearly 400 lbs. lighter than the 3.0T quattro). The fuel economy at 25/33mpg in a midsize sedan is nothing short of amazing, even better than the A4 FWD Multitronic (22/30mpg).

Next year we'll have more options, a 265hp 2.0T Hybrid and a 310hp twin-turbo 3.0TDI. I'm excited about the diesel, that's going to be a beast with incredible fuel economy in the mid 30s.

Can't wait for 3.0TDI in Q5!

If these people really dont care about the engine then just get an a4. Better price, etc. If they really don't care about these big differences they probably just want to get into an audi and an a4 would be a good choice.
The 2.0 will be seriously underpowered!

The A4 is too small for many to be a family car, hence the need for an A6.

Personally, I wish they would offer the A6 without quattro as I have no need for it in NC.

I'm interested to see how the 2.0 drives. I think a lot of people have headtrash regarding 4-bangers from times gone past.
