To everyone lusting after an RS6 - I wonder if this is 3 factors added together. One, a new one has just come out. Two, they haven't been in the states before. Three, they have a history of 4 versions now.

Obviously I haven't driven the new one but I spent a lot of time in the C7 shape and they honestly aren't that great. As people always say they are very inert and feel very heavy but what few people report on is the amount of torque steer that the C6 and C7 generations have. I also found the interior very low rent with plastic everywhere. Compared to the M5 and M6 with full leather the interior on the C7 looked like it was competing against the E39, not the F10/F13 generation.

The C8 finally has an option for a leather dash but I'm sceptical about everything being controlled via touch.

I'm very jealous of the 10 piston brake calipers though
