Come on guys. There is more than size and engine power. You all forget the most important feature of this baby! It's control!!! control control! All electronically controlled road handling... It will handle the road MUCH better than any other sedan or station. This is a super sports car wearing a businessmen uniform. Lefting a 911 Turbo in the dust... Cornering like a Ferrari.. You can't do these with a US car. It's accelaration with 4 people sitting inside is almost the same with an RS4 with 2 people.

"Hi all, Having exercised a decision to procure an RS6 (people carrier) for the transportation of Wifey and 2 Children and decline all (wife) rights to any other fun and games in the forseeable future. I must state it was not the best financial decision, but having now driven the ""Growler"" for a week, I must comment: WOW, Yippee, Vroom and Zoom. This thing makes you want to get up for work at 04:00hrs and drive a detour route. Look forward to the final running in phase and a lot of fun. Problem? Chip ""no warranty"" Will it blow up???"
 Why this comment's about it's size?

Well, I read that somebody thinks the car is too small for a station wagon and the price is to high and that for the same money you can buy a Dodge SRT-8 that is bigger, with the same power and price.Firstly,in Europe the roads are not so big like in the USA because most cities are very old.European carmakers build cars that can better be used everyday so they are not so big as the US cars.The cars that come to the US from Europe are as they were designed,that means that european carmakers can't desing a model again,bigger and with more space for the US.So if somebody want's to buy a car,he will buy that what is responding better to him.Don't forget that there are many carmakers in the world that try to make better cars than the other!
 ummmm . . .

sorry to tell you, but dodge is part german . . . and the only reason they decided to try to go back to real-wheel-drive hemi powered cars was german influence, without it, they would still be developing wannabe front-wheel-drive cars . . . next time, think before you speak.
 why germans n britis and itals n not americans!

why is that when the germans build a 350+ family station wagon that is tiny as a tuna box given such high praise and when dodge bring in a kick ass SRT-8 HEMI powerd killer sation wagon getting same response....do we have a problem of being ASS of EU n restof the world n not look at what we have here.! HEMI RULES ROCKS N DODGES GONA KICK THE GERMAN BUTT ANY TIME ANY WHERE n yea MOTORHEAD I KNOW YOUR BACKGOUND YOU R TOTALY WRONG ABOUT THE PERSON WHO DESIGNED THE NEW z350 It Was totally designed in and by japanes engineer n if u even need his name email me ill let you know its not a damnd Ajay Paschal or what so ever who build that. The person you talking about only builds suzukies and embassider cars which have same every thing for last 40yrs. Now look people what indians do make car and make it look the same for 40yrs...are they that dumb??? hummm i thought so! at least your tiny neigbough PAK does a better job making civics n corollas with PAK modified specs!

This car would be the one i would choose between m5 , xjr and holden hs-v gts. However the E55 has just came out, and i would prefer that. I have driven an S6, and that was pretty swift, and thats got an auto box. Is the RS4 still in production?
 Hmmmmm

"Interesting car this one. The 4.2 V8 is a superb engine, especially in the S8. It's powerful, growly, and eerily efficient. But when you stick two turbos on one things start to go somewhat unintelligeable. The A6 is a big car, the avant even bigger, and 450bhp isn't really that scary. The two together are pretty awesome though, but not quite so as the RS4 and RS2. It's kind of like a ""Nice n Spicy"" Pot Noodle, whereas Audi really wanted the full on ""Bombay Bad Boy"". It's riddled with things that I don't like. It's only an automatic for starters. It's too heavy as well. It may only be a couple of hundred kilos or so more than the RS4 which I've driven a great deal, but it feels so much bigger and lumpier. It carries a great deal of inertia around with it, and it seems to struggle under braking as those HUGE tyres chirp merrily away. It is however, rather fast. It seems to effortlessly glide to 60, and just keep on going. It's not until it reaches about 120 that it even seems to lose any acceleration from that initial, immense kick in the back at takeoff. It is, however, not as fast as the RS4, and in a straight drag with a 911 Carrera S, I was worried! It was pretty close, but as soon as it came to gear changes, that slick 5 speed auto in the Audi pulled cleanly and smoothly away. It's not a sports car though, especially my favourite of the two, the avant. It looks much cleaner, like this was designed, then the boot cut off and welded up to make the saloon. It also gives a slightly better weight balance for sliding round corners, the one thing it does do slightly better than the RS4. Oh, and one more thing. I must defend my beloved RS4, and say that I have drag raced both cars, and so long as someone who can shift gears reasonably is in the RS4, it is just a touch faster to 60, despite what all the magazines say."""
