The C6 just looks like a fat lump of melted plastic. Just IMO of course.

Oh id agree the C6 isnt pretty by any means... even the c7 doesnt really have the look, but its all safety orientated isnt it so the cool square fierce look that cars used to have is long gone.

No offense intended. You quoted my post before I edited it. :) I'm just angry Audi didn't make more of an effort with the looks of the C6 when in every other respect it's awesome.

I think the C6 loon is actually quite a smart looking car, the avant is just boring imo. The C7 looks a beast, just the arse is fecking hideous.
I love seeing my car on the road :redrs4:
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

I had a Navarra and Two Range Rover Sports in between my C5's hence why I joined here years ago. Sold the last Sport for 35K and bought my C5 RS6 for 10k. It was a no brainer to buy a C5 not a C6. The V8 is the best engine that have ever wrapped a car around. Get a C5 and put an aftermarket stereo system in it. Save the extra cash to spend on it when it goes wrong.....
RS6 C5 05 plate very tidy.
Past.... Only have 500 characters ! RR Sport X 2 Nice but boring RS6 C5 03 Sold due to losing 25K of value in 12 months of ownership !
Still have a 72 GT6 and a few Big Bikes....

It's been great without you :<beep>_you:
Finished the house yet mate?

Now rule 1 your tree, punk![/quote]

Sorry it took so long to reply, I had to google translate, it was all wrote in some strange northern accent.. :piss: :assflash:

House is getting there, breaking the bank, but worth it, but I really miss the 6, I want that v8 burble back..

Anyway, what have I missed on here, what's been happening? Can't believe the price of 6's.. Plus's have gone through the roof, standard one seem far too cheap!
I used to own a 6, now I'm just a lurker!

I am planning on selling my B5 RS4 for a C5 RS6. This is good to read.
