Hi - any views on the Audi A6? I'm about to place an order and I need to hear what you think.
Without knowing what you want in a car or what else you've looked at, or your price range, or needs or location or really anything else, I can't say much other than I love my Acura TL. I don't think the Vortex or RS4 are in the same market segment, but, who knows?
The TL is more comparable to a loaded A4, without the option of AWD, but it's a damned nice car if you're into subtle Japanese reliability with all the options rather than an opulent mechanical Teutonic gamble. The A6 does impress me, although the redesign was a step backwards in my opinion.

I really like Audis, I've got nothing bad to say, so long as you've taken a drive in a BMW 5-series and an Infiniti M.

VW Vortex is a VW (and somewhat Audi) enthusiast website, not a Volkswagen automobile, fyi.

Oh, I was wondering why I had never heard of it, but when I Googled it my cursory glance at the result told me it was a super-GTI i.e. R32++, then I cursed Autoweek and hit Post Comment.. ah well.

Another vote for the Acura TL here. If you can live without all wheel drive check into one.
I get 25MPG average in mixed driving , and I have a lead foot.
The TL has no options available other than navigation and automatic transmission. Except for maybe spoilers and other such nonsense.
Also- No engine service is required for 110k miles. Fluid changes excluded.
