kinda like the way the console controls flow without the Nav System...

 

BETTER PROPORTIONS!

 

Yuck. Looks too much like the MKZ. Its should be RWD with an AWD option as every other car in this segment is.

 

Audi A6?

 

Well the A6 is permanent all wheel drive, which is a step up from RWD with AWD optional. And besides, in normal driving, most of the power is sent to the rear wheels anyways, which is the opposite for the MKS.

24mpg for the Audi? Lincoln LS get that with a V8

 

Lincoln made a mistake stopping the LS. That car should have survived.

 

Yes I have been looking them as a daily drive!

 

Audi's website lists both the 3.2 and the 4.2 as having the Quattro all wheel drive system.

I dont think I have ever seen an Audi on the road that did not have that Quattro badge in the grille.

 

Yes, one can have Quattro on the 3.2 and 4.2, but one can purchase an A6 with FWD.

From Audi's website, under Build Your Audi. The 3.2L is Front mounted, longitudinal just like the MKS.

Gross. I have lost all respect for Audi. FWD is for economy cars. I had no idea under that Quattto system was front drive.

 

With Audi being the strange exception, pretty much every relevant luxury sport sedan is rwd based with the awd option, including models from Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, and Infiniti. IN MY OPINION, Lincoln missed the mark here by making it fwd. (Does anyone know what drive wheels power Acura's SH-AWD when in normal driving?)

 

Volvo?

 

I'm sure Audi is devastated....

 

Volvo is for soccer moms.

 

Acuras AWDs are all based on FWD as well.

 

They should be because I was strongly considering an R8, in fact I was gonna get two R8's. Not anymore though, not after learning of Audis front drive nonsense. Outraged . But in all seriousness, I would never buy a German car, they are overpriced, over hyped, and you pay a premium on them because they are from Germany. Feel free to disagree.

 

OK . . . .

 

You just showed me a picture of a station wagon. I could put fancy wheels and huge spoiler on a Passat but it would still be a mommy wagon. I do like the V8 S80 though, very stylish. Why did they get rid of the S60R?
