Default Yeah, If I had wanted an ugly car, I would have bought a SAAB.

Default Then the A6 will have good company with Cadillac and Lincoln.

if people stop associating sportiness with Audi.

Remember the VAG plan: VW=luxury, Audi=sporty.

Sorry, I just wasn't impressed with the long snout, grill, and huge front overhang on the new A6. I could maybe picture my grandfather driving it, but not really myself.

"Audi buyers don't buy Audi's for their sporty look"

Default I stand corrected.

I just feel that its much much more than sportiness. Luxury, class, sophistocation, sportiness, and probabably other things that ive forgotten, particularly in the A6. And w/o sportiness, Audi would be closter to Lexus rather than Lincoln or Cadillac.

Default Audi ~= Acura

Less luxurious/more sporty than Mercedes/Lexus

Less sporty/more luxurious than BMW/Infiniti

Default And let's not forget the money it pours into racing; past and present. Racing = Sport

Many car companies would kill to have it's success record at racing, both past and present. It has its Auto Union history, it's Quattro history, and now its current phenomenal LeMans wins.

Default I like it....looks hunched down like it's ready to take off......I think it hits the target market

well.....which obviously isn't us, or we'd be A6 owners. Just because it doesn't look good to you doesn't mean it doesn't look good to someone else.

Now, if you don't like the new A4, then there's the problem. I remember when the B6 came out and I was guoted saying that I didn't like it because it looked too much like a big fat A6. Well, we know how that turned out.
