Re: New A6

["Robert P. Wunderlich, D.P.M." <Robert@Wunderlich.com>]

Now you're comparing apples and oranges...I was talking about the Audi 4.2
V8.  I highly doubt if the next S6 will have the 2.7 biturbo motor
anyway...remember, this is the same motor that is in the S4, which is less
powerful than the V8 in the A6 4.2.  It would make more sense for it to be
equipped with the 4.2 biturbo, which should make it competitive with the new
M5.
