I really like the A6. For the record it is a 3.0T, not the 3.2. The difference in price is indeed eye popping (on Audi site 48350$ vs 56300$). If you got the Quattro the transmission is the ZF8 instead of the CVT. On one side it is a good thing since Audi just said that they plan to give up on CVT soon. On the other side the gap in fuel economy is an almost incredible 25%.

Well, you don't want tint on just one window, do you? 
I love the car...after driving that S5 for a week, I have nothing but praise for Audi. Seriously solid car.

Of course...and really, forget speed and power, I'd be happy with the 2.0T with a 25% MPG gain regardless.
We're bred to think we always need more...more cylinders, more house, more womenz, more cars, more technology, more bigger tv...
but we don't, there's a level of diminishing returns and I think the people that can distinguish that are generally happier and probably a little better with money.
Except a Mustang...THAT you must get a 5.0 (sorry SACHO! 
)

What does that do that simply sharing WiFi on your phone won't do? I'm genuinely curious. I think charging a fee for something that you can do now with a smartphone is puzzling.
+1. I'd assume you can do it with the Audi MMI too, but in my Fusion you can tether your phone via USB and broadcast the signal via MyFordTouch. I've never used it, but its there and free.

You can't tether your connection to it. It drives the Google Maps and Google search and creates a hotspot. You can obviously create a hotspot with your own phone but not the others. You can buy a prepaid Truephone SIM but if you get the $15 a month plan its almost the same.
