Well.. I have to disagree with all of you.. I was just in ingolstadt
three weeks ago, and I saw the car in the flesh.  The new A6 is one
looker.  I think the car is very well designed and due to this it has
better stabability then the a4, offers much more room inside, and to but
it bluntly, it is a very well designed car.

And BTW,  I would buy such a beast, the run over your fugly head. :)

1991 V8 quattro
1986 5000 (now this is a beast)
