    Get a slightly used Audi, e.g. on carmax, and save thousands. You can get an A8 with less than 20k miles for $60-70k or an A6 3.0 for $35-45k.

    In NC... the same year, same trim, same engine...25 thousand dollars from a dealership.
    My brother chose a fucking challenger -__-... I'm so disappointed.

      I'm disappointed you needed Piccolo's help to stop your brother.

    Good call on the long range driving piece, but the Lexus we drove was not an F-Sport, it was actually an AWD model and you'd never notice the engine unless you're standing on it. I will definitely be following up with Audi for the S version of this or the 7. Thanks for the comment.

    In China, the top A6L 3.0TFSI costs more than 7400k CNY, about 120k USD (tax is excluded. In some area, you can get a maximum discount from the dealer and get it in about 97k USD), without B&O and night vision, although it got a larger back seat space (A6L) and a name of 50TFSI, which makes it sound like a car with a 5.0 engine.

    Funny, I was looking through comments and didn't realize this one was reply until I logged into the page. Mr. Hender must enjoy a lot of open space in front of him and then get really mad when people cut him off from the right.

    I think it's a great car. The thing about the Sound is, this cars purpose is long range driving/cruising. Please don't forget the the Lexus GS350 was an F-Sport version, so it has a bit of a harder ride, the sound is sportier and the steering is more direct.
    This engine sounds pretty good in the S4 or the Panamera/Cayenne Hybrid.
    Otherwise I agree totally with you. Try to get a hand on the new S6/S7 ;).

    hearing you talking a lot about the LED headlight, hoping you could do a side by side comparison with the HID on the Lexus GS350 you review last ... I appreciated your review by the way.

    Dissapointed in how it sounds? I dont understand some of these reviews. Your reviewing a 70K high end luxury first- sport sedan..its not supposed to sound like a mustang.
    If im looking at these reviewes i would be interested in an interior db sound test- to find out which manufacturer is putting in the technology to isolate noise for the interior. Nothing more dissapointing then spending lots of money on a big luxury name to have a noisey cabin at highway speed.

    • @OscarGagliardiJr
      @OscarGagliardiJr 5 лет назад

      Herakles it is not noisy at all. No reason to be disappointed.

  • @victoremil01
    @victoremil01 9 лет назад +1

    I really disagree, in some of the things you say. I have it myself, its a luxury car (limousine) its not supposed to sound so sporty. But i still disagree, because i think it has a amazing sound, and at the congress, Audi said that "this car is, so amazing because the cabin is so comfy, they said, you don't hear other cars on the highway, or the audi, its fantastic"

    and here we are, in 2021, where you can take this to a tuner and they plug it in to bump it up an extra 80hp without changing a single part.

    You're one of those DBs that drive the speed limit in the fast lane? Not surprised at all.

    7:18 i disagree if been in a bmw 545i, in a hyundai i40 stationwagon, Vw passat (2009) but i still vind audi to have the most fancy interior within its price class! Ofcourse a bentley mussane and cars like these are much more fancy but can u mansion a car with the same price tag that has a fancyier interior? ( sorry for my english)

  • @jwall1768
    @jwall1768 11 лет назад

    Your reviews are the best on the net. I completely agree the audi interior is boring. Not ugly just does not invoke emotion like the lexus gs f sport does. I am also not a fan of the pop up nav because of the glare and youd think with the "prestige" model you could get black alcantara headliner or something because that grey color is not fitting of a 71,000 luxury sport sedan. Thanks for the unbiased reviews Kevin keep them coming!!!!

    VW group is weird in their engine coding. T stands for turbo but just with 2.0. This 3.0 have T in name but instead of turbo does have injectors. No Turbo in 3.0

    you can get one nicely equipped with same motor and sports package for 53k. dont buy off the lot when dealing with audi. place an order, get what you want, pay less.

      Huh.. I think it's a youtube issue. This has been up for years and this is the first time I've seen that issue.

      I noticed the same thing. It appears to fade out like an ad is starting but stays dark.

    "71K is enormously expensive"? Complete bullshit. I just bought one yesterday with half the bells and whistles for 120K in india. USA is cheapest when it comes to road tax on cars. I suggest you do your homework and find out how much the rest of the world is paying for the same car.
