Default Picture of New S6 arriving and OLD ride leaving

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/121664/newandold.jpg"></center><p>Figured out that LARGE pictures don't upload very well. My old ride (2005 Porsche Cayenne S) is being loaded onto truck in background. (will miss it!).

Now that I have spent about an hour behind the wheel of the S6, I am very impressed with it. Seat is great. Power is exceptional, sound when pressing the pedal is very rewarding.

More pics when I have a better location to really show off the beauty of the car

p.s. thanks everyone who has been answering my posts (us audi newbies need help!)

Default Before I bought the S6 I looked at the Cayenne and the ML63 as possible replacements...

for my ML500 while retaining a fun to drive feel.

I ended up keeping the ML500 for work and trailer towing and getting the S6 for day to day drive and fun. Best decision I ever made.

Default Re: Before I bought the S6 I looked at the Cayenne and the ML63 as possible replacements...

I loved the cayenne and only replaced it because:

0). Time for a new toy
1). @ 50K Miles, ran out of warranty and figured the resale would go down fast
2). Would have had to buy 4 new summer tires and was not sure how much longer I wanted to keep it.
3). Did I mention that it was time for a new toy?
4). Wanted better electronics (Bluetooth, IPOD et. al)
5). See # 3

Default That's the color I'm planning for my next A6, but that means I have to get the S-line package...

as that color is reserved for that package. I think I would prefer the platinum interior with the Daytona Gray. But so far I have only found Ebony interiors with the Daytona. Since you a S6, that color must be one of the standard colors.

Default Not standard for S6 either, just available for S-line A6. This was a special order color.

Boybike said that it was a $2,500 item on the sticker. It's my favorite C6 color.

Default Beeeeeauuuutilfulll! More pics! ;)

Looks very sharp. I'm just not sure that Daytona is as fast a color as Silver.

I like the "unmarred" front bumper strip too. Does your state have any requirement for a front plate? Mine (CA) does, but I am considering getting that strip and taking my chances.
