From Autoweek:

EARLIER THIS MONTH WE showed the next-generation Audi A6 going through its paces in the Arctic Circle (AW, Feb. 2); now Audi is releasing a full dossier on its latest midsize sedan. It premieres in Geneva in early March and arrives in U.S. showrooms in late October or early November. The V8 debuted in the S4 in late 2002 and also powers the new A8 L, while the 3.2-liter V6 is a variation of the same engine under the hood of the TT. Gearbox choices include six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, and a continuously variable automatic that mimics a seven-speed transmission in manual mode.

Looks good. Where's the coupe now?

 

Uh, who wants a body massage?

Bugati vs. Saab. Don't know if I like it just yet. Interior is a slight departure, but still pretty cool. I like Audi.

 

nice, i rly like it.. i rly like the new key brand marks..

 

it all looks great, except the interior - that weird border around the gauges and the whole center console/nav screen.. i don't get that part. it completely interrupts the flow of the whole dash. steering wheel is kind of ugly too. otherwise, i like it!

 

The dash and steering wheel are going to take some getting used to.

Also the while the new corporate grille treatment is commonly mistaken for a Bugatti styling cue, it's actually supposed to draw on the old Auto Union grand prix cars and also the DKW 1000 series of road cars.

 

I love the interior. I have to get used to the front facia, though. That may take time. The tail is very masculine.

 

that 6 cyl diesel sounds awesome! too bad north america will probably never see it. 225 hp and more torque than the V8 not too shabby

the car looks okay. besides the exterior its awesome. i just never really liked audi design. its too gay

 

love it...with the fall of bmw...audi has really replaced it as my favorite luxo brand along with infiniti coming in a close second.

 

It's just...bland. The dash looks cheap. I like the new front end. It's different, and nicely done. Otherwise it's pretty generic.
