Another 700HP Audi RS6

MT you're ruining this blog with you inane comments. Oh by the way, hows the carbon footprint for the LX570.

And how many LX to RS6s 1000/1.

And Toyota and Lexus are ruining everyone else's lives from boredom. Which would you rather be experiencing? a thrill or boredom?

I love the RS models from Audi. HOT!.

I detect a slight tinge of jealousy there.

amazinBullshit .......... same old record.

amazinbimmer, michaeltaylor, could you guys be anymore ignorant?

Tunnel vision does that.

LS600h is fast?
Your definition of fast sure is different from mine.

i don't think that's possible.

A luxurious and quite 5000lb auto that does 0-60 in 5.5 while achieving 20/22 mpg is not impressive enough for you?

The RS6 will do 0-60 in 4 or less seconds with fuel economy of arund 14/20. Audi also offers many ways of getting better than 20/22 if you are ok with a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds (all of this in a large sedan, even better fuel economy if you go for a smaller sedan)

BMW appears to be focusing more on hyrdogen. To say they are not doing anything is completely false. And before you bash the technology - you mentioned Honda above - who is also investing heavily in hydrogen.

amazinbimmer is scared

The average fuel economy of European cars is way better than of American cars, and about the same if not a little better than what Japanese cars get. And Europeans don't have to resort to tiny kei cars to get good fuel economy.

As for the RS6, it looks like 700 horsepower is very doable with a little chip tuning.

"The European cars are built with less protection to reduce the weight of the car to squeeze extra miles on there cars. European and Asian cars would probably fail the impact testing conducted in the U.S. "

More fiction form Homer007. Cite one article stating this. Just because you make things up doesn't make it real.

Homer: well seeing that Audi was the first manufacturer to show a Hybrid vehicle back in 1996....
Did you know that 80% of the parts in an Audi are recyclable?
That they have used water baed paint before anyone else?

You want to talk about the batteries in the Prius?
Oh yeah.. these are green alright.
Audi's new TDi emits less CO2 than a Prius...

Not to defend either side here but if you are stuck in traffic - as long as you have the air conditioner on - the engine will not shut off. That is how it has been in my friends Highlander - the Prius could be different however.

you post more on vw's than anyone else. and what the hell is so high end about any bmw? do you know what high end is? here's a hint; ferarri, lamborghini, pagani, konigsegg (if that's spelled correctly), bugatti, porsche (wait, that's 3 that is in the vw group) and i'm sure that there are more but i can't remember at the moment.

High end VW's = Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche.

High end BMW's = Rolls Royce and ???????

good point steve27t if thats not a high end BMW i dont know what is. how many celebrities is tryin to buy that Drophead coupe since it came out???????????

Funny you say that since it is you that posts on EVERY Audi and VW blog.....

Homer: And yet again Audi is the first and only Luxury Manufacturer to received 4 cars with Top pick for safety (A3, A4, A6, Q7). that means 5 star rating for Front, Side and Rear impact.
Audi offers 5 mph bumpers versus which means it costs less to fix an Audi than a Toyota for example which has 2.5 mph bumpers.

did anyone mention a VW. I don't see a single VW in the content of this post. What I do see in this post is the Audi RS6 Avant that starts @ 107,000 Euros in Germany. For comparison the M5 Touring starts @ only 96,000 Euros.

So I guess the Germans that buy this RS6 Avant only bought it because they couldn't afford the M5, oh wait. Could you please use your fancy Business School degree to calculate how the poor German bought a more expensive Audi than a BMW?

Consumer Reports rated BMW and VW the same for 2008:

Overall, the best cars sold in the U.S. are made by Honda. That's the conclusion of a recent analysis conducted by Consumer Reports that looks at the reliability, performance, fuel economy, comfort, interior fit and finish, and ergonomics of 262 vehicles we've recently tested.

Honda, with an overall score of 78, is followed closely by Toyota (75) and Subaru (72). BMW, Mazda, Nissan, and Volkswagen are tied at 71, after rounding.

So I guess you are saying your car is shit as well.

how did VW and BMW get 71, more like 17, and that's after rounding up :)

One word. why?

41 year old virgin

I still can't believe you admitted your age. It brought your loser quotient up to "staggering" from "pathetic".

Now, don't you have a couple of fat kids half your age to pick on, dirtbag?

Thank got BMW doesn't make a diddler van...

I think everyone here shoudl just chil and be thankful that Audi, BMW, MB, Jaguar, Lexus, Bentley and many other European, American and Japanese manufacturers still produce such amazing cars like this. Sure, make all these green machines for the masses, but just for a lucky few - engineers that want to push the performance envelope and the people who have been successful enough to afford those creations - let's just take a ride on the wild side. These high performance cars are a dying breed and I am privileged to be able to enjoy some of them now.

IS THAT A WAGON OR JUST A LOWERED Q5 WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE BESIDES ONE IS LOWER THAN THE OTHER. AUDI HAS CAME A LONG WAY FROM WHERE THEY USED TO BE BUT THERE IS ONE CAR THAT AUDI MAKES THAT GIVES ME THE WOW FACTOR AND THATS THE S5 AND THATS IT
