Thans JPB and Michael.
What I want of my new car is comfort (and german build); I don't want or need a 300+hp car. I just want to be able to drive safe comfortably. And I don't use the car alot (my old A6 has done less than 60K km ~about 40K mls in the past 5 years)
A new car:
- I very much like the looks of the new A3 (when is the 5-door comming btw) but it is to small for us.
- I like the A4 Avant (beter than the limo version; strange because I do like the Limo A6 better than the Avant A6) and think it is big enough (although I am spoiled having had a spacious (sp?) A6).
- The A6 I have now I like but I regret not having bought an Tip and Quattro ... and double glass (is it called so?) !
- I am not sure about the Allroad. It is expensive (due to its 2.7TT engine which I do not 'need') and I havent driven it yet (hope to do that in a few weeks time)
But since there is a new A6 coming (my dealer told me that it is introduced on the Dutch market in May this year) I want to know what that car is about. I searched the internet but to no avail. My dealer told me it would be more expensive (+ 10%) and bigger (12 cm longer and 7 cm wider; in inches that is ~5 and ~3 respectively). ANd that is all I know.
Who knows more about the new A6 ? And is there a quattro with Multitronic available soon ?
Regards,
Edwin
BTW: I had a look at the prices of an A6 3.0 Tq ... MSRP US$ 39,450. I have to pay EURO 60,000 to get that car ... US$ 74,326.90 (According to xe.com)
