Some RS6 impressions

[Zsolt]

This seems to be typical for Audi lately. All the new high-end cars are 
very understated. The same things is true for the RS4, or even the S cars.

I saw my 1st RS6 (and took pictures of it) in 2001 in Germany, before 
there was talk about it, and other than a very nice looking A6 I never 
thought of it being anything special. It's a very German thing to do. 
They like to be in stealth mode and debadge cars, and with some of them, 
especially Mercedes it's hard to tell what model it is.

Cheers,
 Zsolt
