It's handsome enough car outside, but that CLA like skateboard screen is out of place.

Yes-Audi AG's current corporate narrative is that the present screen theme will be progressively replaced by designs more in sync with that seen in the Concept C. A very good thing IMHO. And something that would usher a return to a form that Audi has somehow lost over the past several years.

Hi @DeDe do you have this issue of AMuS and can post the comparison with Audi A6 3.0 TSI vs Mercedes E450?

Clear victory for the E-Class – Audi was criticised for its somewhat "cheap" appearance.

Friendly reminder of how perfect (in my opinion) the C8 A6 looked... muscular and crisp fender lines, short front overhang with a flat hood and an upright A-Pillar giving it really executive and sporty look.

Miss this.....

I'd love to get an A6 of this generation but Audi's problematic EA839 engine scares me

It was Audi's best proportioned, best looking sedan.

Indeed.

Audi's design department (with the "help" of the MLBevo platform`s proportions) lost the plot with the D5 A8, recoved with the C8 A/S/RS 6's...and then started to progressively fizzle out completely.

I repeat myself. "Radical Next" cannot come soon enough.

Car looked hooked in every turn, test driver just overshot that it seems. No way that exhaust note is a V8 sounds like a 2.9TT

Ouch !

Oh well, s**t happens on a greasy/wet circuit and that car is going to disassembled and recycled anyway.

Looked absolutely awful.
Will likely be closer to 3000 kg than 2000 kg, the RS4 is already pretty much M5 weight.

The comments are killing me:

Not to drag BMW into this but comparing this to the videos of the M5T this does look a lot more stable in the turns with less body roll. Even compared to C8 RS 6 it looks like significantly less body roll.

 

[klier]

The current M5 is not exactly a high bar to beat though.

Physics are physics. The Nurburgring absolutely hates heavy cars.

I agree with that
