    Agreed, it looks great. The RS version should be stunning.

    Clearly, Audi is leveraging the fact that many previous BMW owners would never consider buying the ugly cars BMW currently sells. This thing is stunning and, to be blunt, I don't care if an M5 is fractionally quicker. I'm more interested in the overall driving experience -- and, unless there's a huge functional difference, beauty always trumps ugly...

    Exterior looks good! Exception being the weird plastic fake vent beneath the rear lights.

    That steering wheel is heinous though. And pls bring some back buttons instead of 3 screens (aware that I sound like an old man shouting at clouds!)

    That vent has the turn signal in it although it looks superfluous to me. Not wild about the squirkle steering wheel. Like the new screens and finally -lighted cup holders!

    Really wish they made the interior more unique. The dashboard set up is almost an exact cut and paste of the a5 line up. Also from the initial video's I have seen the material usage looks questionable for the pricing range. Exterior I like though, but Audi's been consistently turning out tasteful exterior designs.

    The rear 10% looks a bit busy but overall looks good and vastly superior to the M5 Touring.

    I'm afraid the next RS6 will be a bloated/overweight/underperforming mess a la the new M5. Let's hope not!

    I like the exterior, interior not for me.

    Personally, I’m not feeling it.

    That front grill screams EV to me, with so much of it blocked off and the thick plastic spokes. Soft.

    And the rear is… just way too busy. Five horizontal anchors: taillights then light bar then tailgate lip then reflectors then diffuser/exhaust lines.

    Unlike the current design, this one just seems disjointed and fussy.


    Cheers,

    Agree 100%, I'm not a fan. Perhaps the RS will make it right, but for me there's no emotion. Exterior lines are too plain jane (yes, there's too much noise out back). Interior is a disaster.

    I think the exterior looks pretty good for an A6. Much better than C8. The interior is very flashy but also too busy. Look forward to the RS version

    My first impression was positive but after looking for a while I echo the busyness for the front and rear and add that I don't like the big rear overhang...long distance from rear axle to rear bumper. also from some angles there is an odd bulbousness to the rear flairs, they flair nicely but then sort of curve back to the wheel opening in an unattractive way. But when you look at the c9 avant and then back to my c8 rs6, the c9 definitely looks more modern in many ways..
