I recently saw an Audi A6 L. What does the L stand for.

You may have seen an A8L although I have read that in other (non NA) markets there is also an A6L.
 
"L" = long wheelbase.

I've also noticed that the insignia A6 / A8 on the tail of the car are hard to differentiate from afar.

...you can't get Amaretto interior with sport seats. Black milano leather is your only choice if you want sport seats on a 2008 model
 
Audi's oddball options and colors setup is the reason I'm not rolling in an A6 4.2 now! What the heck difference does it make what kind of cushions the leather is stretched over?? It's just a color. Why can't we get the Amaretto on the sport seats anymore??

Part of the differnce is the texture of the leather on A6's. A8's have a smooth texture, and even the upgraded voltera (now called milano on 08 models) has more of a textured pebbly feel to it on A6 models. The only time Audi ever offered amaretto sports seats was on the old S8 if I remember correctly.
 
The sport seats look different for the 08 A6 models and I've yet to see them in person.

You could get sport seats in amaretto on the '05 and '06 A6 (4.2). And you can even select it on their website now (has a picture of the sport seats in amaretto and everything.)

Next A6 Generation/ Facelift? by cred

I'm considering buying or leasing a 2008 A6 now that S-Line styling is std on the exterior along with a few other interior nice-to-haves (including Sirrus). Since the current generation was introduced in 2005, I don't want to get a 2008 and have it be out-of-date a year or two later. Does anybody know when the next gen A6 will be release and any websites with info/pics of it?? Thanks!

The previous gen, of the A6, had a production run from 1997 through 2004 (8 years.) We are now into year 4 for the current A6.
 
I had hoped for a freshening (got it.) I had hoped for some increases in content/options/features (got that, too.) I assumed the 3.2 would be goosed, turbo charged, replaced (er, re-engineered) to get more HP and torque (apparently we don't get that -- yet) and I had even gone so far as to assume that the rear biased quattro would be announced to replace the 50 50 bias if for no other reason than marketing (missed that one too.)
 
This (current) A6 is the best one yet and until the new A4 comes out next year was/is a showcase for much of the "upcoming" Audi-think about cars (styling, features, engineering) when it came to market in the second half of 2004.
 
My take: it needs about 10% more power at the base (US) model level.
 
In terms of styling and other things that may induce you to buy or hold off, I would say the A6 is now "middle aged." The next new will be the A4, then perhaps the A8, then the A6 as it will, based on history, soldier along quite nicely (power notwithstanding) for another 4 years.
