Need help picking C5 A6 or 02-04 A4?

[hayes myers]

Very true on space... i had a b6 and b7 A4...rear seat was never occupied by
me :)  The A6 i'd sit in the back and do work on trips from Toronto to
Boston.. lotso room. I'm seeing nice pricing on 2005 A6 v8's as well. I
still have a few months until i'm buying... but will be scouring for deals.
the longer i wait the better the pricing though.
