Saw this at work....

Nothing special, but it was my first up-close encounter with an S6. Sprint blue (had to look that one up) = beautiful color on a beautiful car. I'm sorry, these cell phone pictures don't do the car justice at all, it was breaking everyone's necks (the person in red turned around twice to look at it)





I like how the car is so simple looking but still just gorgeous. It makes the 5-series look like something straight out of Chernobyl. I don't know about that V10 badge and the door molding but they aren't big enough of a deal to detract from this car. Between a 5-series, E-Class and A6/S6 its gotta be Audi, hands down.

I don't get why Audi always advertises its artsy fartsy pics of its cars in silver instead of colors like Sprint Blue

I agree the S6 is beautiful, although subtle... a little too subtle for my taste. The one thing that I absolutely love about the S6 is the LED running lights, these things are so bright, it's very noticeable in the day, and at night, it's simply bad ass and very attention grabbing.

As for the E63 vs S6 vs M5, I prefer the E63. It's aggressive yet classy.

Agreed. That car needs to be pimped out. And in my garage.

I appreciate the great mechanicals of the S6, but compared to the looks of the 2-door S5 this looks like grandma's Taurus.

It's too plain. I'm not a fan. It's like the ugly older sister of the hot-ass S5.

It looks HUGE! I like the color, but for the money it wouldn't even be in my top 10, I guess that says something about how fierce the competition is in that price range.

I saw one in black once, the owner of the detail shop that did my tints drives it. Had some nice straight spoke gunmetal aftermarket rims that just made the car look gorgeous, plus the paint was immaculate.

The S6 is amazing I hope one day I would have enough money to make that car my daily driver. Absolutely beautiful then again I think the A6(2005+) is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

I like it. Comfortable. Subtle. Fast. Doesn't feel big around corners either. Good alternative if you don't like MBZ or BMW.
