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

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.

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

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.

3.2 FSI 255 multitronicDetails 42,950.00
3.2 FSI quattro 255 tiptronicDetails 46,100.00
4.2 FSI quattro 350 tiptronicDetails 56,300.00

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

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.
