Yes, even model numbers go to EV, while odd numbers are for ICE. So, 6 is EV.

Audi’s department has made some puzzling choices lately, like badging S-Line models almost identically to S/RS models. There’s no front badge anymore, among other changes.

If they drop the V8 for a V6 PHEV, we might see far fewer options for fast wagons, which would be a shame.

RS6 was a special fast wagon.

Y'all crack me up.

Status? Who are you trying to impress? Is it a status car among the wealthy? No. Is it a status car among car enthusiasts? Absolutely. Some of you couldn't get laid without a car and it shows.

I live a couple of hundred yards from a guy whose kids wouldn't be caught dead in anything below $300K and whose housekeeper drives a nicer car than most of you...and I still wouldn't trade my life for his.

Some of you truly lack perspective and humility.

It was a status car amount enthusiasts.


I'm with gblansten now, just get a plaid and throw CCBs and coils on it. At least that sucker will turn and stop, however the steering / TC tuning is all garbage so it will never "feel" fun to drive. Then again, new-age steering on BMWs isn't that great anyway.


Oh and the tesla will be better on consumables like brakes and tires because... it. weighs. less.

I look forward to driving this car and making up my own mind.

And you very well may be right about the dynamics aspect of it. I was strictly speaking about status amongst enthusiasts. An M5 will always be an M5. A Plaid will always be...well...a Tesla. And I have nothing against Teslas or BEVs in general.

Here's another review for the M5.

I like that he covers all the real world use cases for this type of car.

Love the "Injection molding" comments - it's just plastic.
