When my wife's A6 becomes the "kids' car", I'll be thinking about a gently
used A8, neuS6 avant, or maybe even an S8 for her. Prolly the A8 or possibly
the A6. Will have to spend some seat time in each.

At that point my S6 will be 10 years old, and I'd give some thought for
myself about the neuS6 avant or maybe a nicely done Allroad (not cos I love
the latter car, but for the turbo and the stick...)
