Replying to: scottphillip (Oct 10, 2006 12:37 pm) The S6 seems like a bargain compared to the Benz E63.   Well not really. The S6 can't match the performance of the E63 or M5 for that matter hence it should cost less, IMO.   M Replies to this message: rockylee (Oct 11, 2006 1:14 am)

Replying to: scottphillip (Oct 04, 2006 11:36 am) Hello, I am new to this forum, but I just saw your post, so I wanted to reply. I have picked up my S8 3 weeks ago and cannot be happier. The car is absolutely unbelievable. You can drive it as a complete luxury car, or you can pop it into sport mode and drive it like a bat out of hell. The interior is absolutely the best in class, in my opinion. People have been stopping me everywhere and asking to see the car, engine, inside, etc... I drove the S6 as well before I took possession of the 8, and it is nice. But I prefer the space and sumptuouseness of the S8. Let me know if you have any questions.

Replying to: nper (Oct 27, 2006 10:59 pm) nper,   I am enjoying my S8 too. I have just over 1,000 miles, and have only put it in sport mode once. It did make a big difference. I am looking forward to taking a trip. So far, no problems. :)I posted some photos in my carspace.

Replying to: scottphillip (Nov 01, 2006 11:54 am) scottphillip, Glad to hear you like the car. I also have posted a few pics in my album. The only problem I had was a weird grinding noise when the car has not warmed up yet and I turn the wheel all the way when backing up. It does go away after a few minutes though. They could not find anything wrong at Audi, so I guess it is just one of those quirky things that happens. Otherwise, the car has been perfect. I am amazed I have not gotten a ticket yet, as I will find myself doing 80 without even realizing it. In S mode, I have smoked a 996 Carrera and a M3. I love the stealth of the S8, especially after I took the badges off. Replies to this message: scottphillip (Nov 10, 2006 7:43 am) nper (Nov 13, 2006 8:08 pm)

Replying to: nper (Nov 04, 2006 11:35 pm) I have had that noise too when parking and turning the wheel sharply. I haven't called the dealer yet. Other than that, I haven't had any problems. Replies to this message: nper (Nov 13, 2006 8:08 pm)

Replying to: scottphillip (Nov 10, 2006 7:43 am) Just spoke to a friend from Europe... he got the same color as you, but will not get it till April. The price in Europe? 175K Euro ($225 K). Ridiculous.
#1008 of 1038 Fun with a 2007 S6 by bob550k Dec 11, 2006 (9:50 pm)
The other day a car I hadn't seen before challenged me to a little fun. I had to look the car up, it said S6 on the back and had cool 4x HID fog lights on each side in front. I went to the Audi Dealer next door to my office to see what's up. 2007 S6 with a V10, that explains why it was so fast. I had started out behind the S6 at a red light so I saw the S6 emblem on the back, as I passed him shifting 3-4 (and barking some rubber in the drivers face) the 4x HID fogs appeared in my rear view mirror.   Ouch, whipped by grampas car. I bet he wishes he'd waited for the RS6. That car needs a horn that says "MOO", what a cow. Replies to this message: wbwynn (Dec 12, 2006 1:16 pm)
