Nice! It's pretty interesting to watch Audi's development. The new B7/S4 will go to the supercharged V6. Some are ambivalent about the change, but Audi is always on the leading edge for fuel economy and the overall mix of that and horsepower. I have been watching this new model to see if they would bring the S4 Avant to the states. So far, it looks like they may wait to do that.
I saw a middle aged woman driving a 2003 S6 Avant the other day and I got her to roll her window down and asked her, 'where did you get that!' She said, "It's my Son's car!" I have recently looked to find one and they are pretty rare. So are the RS6's. There are a few of those around the Seattle area. 450hp for say $22,000.00 wouldn't be too bad but, that only gets 18mpg. So the balance between new w/ a 50k price tag that gets 23mpg over an older model that cost less that has double the horsepower.
Hmmm. Still, I like the Avant's, so that is why the RS6 really doesn't get it for me. Maybe I will keep searching for the S6 Avant. More rare, but right in there!
Crazy, eh?
