Tribune review

"To my mind,the A6 is a mightly nice car in the $34-41,000 range.  The E-Class is also a
mighty nice car, but it doesn't start being mighty nice until you have
$45-55,000 to spend."
 
 
The problem I have is that the A6 is the newest car in this market but it hasn't seemed to even match its rivals let alone surpass many of them (unlike the A4 and the A8).  I think Piech stated that VW would be going after Mercedes and Audi would be aimed at BMW.  Unless one lived in Alaska or the Rockies, I can't imagine a reason for choosing the A6 over the 5 series BMW.  The 528i is in the low 40s and much, much faster and just as luxurious.  I love my quattro.  But let's be honest - the quattro system shines only in poor conditions and poor conditions are not the time to drive aggressively, etc.
