The RS6 has a slushbox- no matter how nice the engine and the chassis may be, the freewheeling aspect of the slushbox and the lack of interaction kills it for me, that's not having driven the car, though. I'll take a manual every time. If Audi keeps going the way they are and no DSG gearboxes for the S-cars, I'll be looking at Evos and STis. Taka
