Subject: [s-cars] Saw an RS6 in person today, very nice...

I was at Fred Baker today and there were two RS6's getting delivered. One
had
the Exhaust package, what a great sound (the buyer was there picking it up).
The other was in the new car waiting area. I got to look inside and under
the
hood, etc. It was a great car.

So I guess the cars are arriving in the US, so get to your local dealer and
drool on one :)







Ah, speaking of exactly this Rob...

Anyone here have any thoughts on the following conversation I just had, with
a pretty reliable source?

<<<The rs6 won't come in a coupe.  They will, however, let you buy it in a 6
speed manual which kicks arse.  That's some good 'photoshopping'. (see this
link for doctored coupe, http://www.audi-sport.net/attach/8759-A6-coupe.jpg
<http://www.audi-sport.net/attach/8759-A6-coupe.jpg> , unrelated topic to
where I am going with this) >>>

My response:

<<<You sure about that six speed thing???  I really had thought they were
not.>>>

His most interesting response:

<<<You can special order it from the factory for the US market, just like
the S8... but good luck asking your dealer about it, they are pretty stupid.
Besides they want to sell whats on your lot. However if you or someone you
knows wants one, I can get one ordered. In fact I got an email from xxxxx
asking if Id be interested in one.>>>

WTF?  This true?  Now that would be the SHIZNIT.  And a stick S8...  oh
momma.  I know I had heard of one or a few making it here, but not as a
factory order.  Discuss.

-P looking for a 3-4 year later replacement car already K.
