The new Audi A6 isn"t interested in the usual executive saloon playbook. Usually, it works like this. Car company creates big, posh luxury limousine. Design details from posh luxury limousine, some of its interior ideas and the cheaper bits of its tech are then inherited by the bigger selling, cheaper executive saloon. So, the Mercedes E-Class borrows the S-Class"s twin interior screens. A BMW 5 Series now has a touchscreen key like the 7 Series. Audi, meanwhile, has just shrunk the entire A8"s dashboard and clever hybrid powertrain into the smaller A6. And over the top, it"s hung a body with some creases, some stance and some aggression. In S-line trim, we reckon this is a handsome barge. It"s Audi"s answer to your cries of protest at all their cars looking like a set of Hannibal-themed Russian dolls. You may deliver your verdict below. Haters of fake exhaust pipes might want to look away now.
