[s-cars] Re: autoboxes with quattro

I will add that if you are used to shifting mit clutches, it will take quite 
a while to get accustomed to the 5 speed autobox.  If you are used to working 
a v8 hard with an autobox, the RS6 shows what another gear, paddle shifters 
and a 150hp can do to a v8.  When one's wife can put the foot down and get 4.6 
seconds to 60, time to trade in that Chevy Cyclone for a better awd turbo 
machine for hauling the kids to soccer.

than all of what so many have said about the car thus far.   Interesting and
thanks.
