[s-cars] rear headrest needed

[Robert Rossato]

All the S6 sedans had the solid head rests, but the S6 Avants had open
headrests to start and eventually switched over.

I don't have a problem with the solid headrests blocking vision.  If you
have your mirrors positioned properly it more than compensates.
