but those 850T owners do have a car to smirk in.. the audi freaks
can only wish...  even the S4 wagon would have been a terrific
850T killer with its superior traction, but do we get the car
here?  nope.. only a completely gutless slush wagon.  sometimes
i wonder what kind of weed they smoke at AofA.

i saw the S6 for the first time 2 days ago.. MSRP $45,700 including
destination charge.. no ABS defeat, no trip computer (i.e. no
boost gauge).  everything else looks the same except for a minor
face lift.  the car is in a really dark blue color, almost black.
still looks gorgeous.  of course the price reductions came out
of the markup.. i don't think dealer invoices changed very much
which means that actual selling price is not going to change
that much either.
