How many mikes by this date?

Mmm, I don't think the six is overdone, it is a lot bigger. For me it's the best RS car since the B7. It's an awesome beast and the speed is mind bending. Sub 4 second to 60 with a slush, it's good going in anyone's books!

I admit that I have not driven the RS6, I was commenting more on the looks of the 6 compare to the 4. The 6 somehow seems overdone compared to the more classy 4 - a personal thing I guess?

If i was to summarise in with just a couple of positives and negatives

Positives - it's really very fast and effortless in it's delivery / it's another level of class in both interior and exterior to an RS4
Negatives - it's flipping massive and doesn't fit in a lot of car parks / it's a bit too quiet and you feel a little unattached to the action

Have a drive of one and see what you think - I'm torn

Drive it around bouncing of the limiter, you know about it then!

Having been in a C6 for 4+ years the size didn't really bother me. Less so in many respects as it handles way better than C6 ever did.

I am not a fan of the 'Quattro' on the font grille and also felt the pattern on the front seats made the interior look too busy. As for power, of course you are correct, the numbers speak for themselves but I have a Ducati for my speed/ acceleration fix that will well and truly take care of the RS6 and the RS4 has not let me down at the traffic light GP yet so I feel I have those bass covered

Most motorcycledrivers on the nordschleife think they drive really fast. When in reality they have no control of whats happening in their rear mirror. In my opinion, they actually go really slow in corners and a little fast in the straight parts, in gereral i havent been overtaken anytime on nordschleife by a mc, AND YES how fast you go there is ALL THAT COUNTS!
Ps do agree that quattro in front is freakin ugly, also the silver in front/back option looks not good.

You don't have to have the foils, only comes with the alu/carbon packs.

Bikes aren't for everyone and in most UK conditions I'd reckon the RS6 would be the tool, especially in the current rainathon!
