[s-cars] 92 S4 vs '01 S4 vs '01 A6 2.7T

[Robin Stoddard]

Hey Andreas,

Have you thought of getting a 95.5 or 96 S6, as you can get that model / 
year as an Avant?

I like the 01' S4, but if you haven't ever sat in the back, I think you 
will be disappointed as it's pretty tight back there.  If you plan on 
doing any long trips with the kids in the back, then either have a good 
bottle of Rye ready when you are done the trip or do not get a neuS4.  I 
also like the 01' A6 4.2 & 2.7T (except for the rounded butt). 

Since cars have to share the road with the dog sleds here in Canada, 
Audi has decided not to bring in the RS6 (not bitter at all).  So of 
course what I would really like to do is to take a A6 4.2, put in a 6 
speed, change out soft suspension, bump the horsepower way up....hmmm 
sounds to me like an RS6?  ;)

Cheers & good luck!
