David,
I concur with Mr. Mills- after having test-driven the 2.3lpt and 3.0 (back to back, both with AUTOMATIC), I found the V6 a bit more entertaining off the line. V6 has a louder exhaust note under hard acceleration. 2.3lpt seemed adequate, but not exciting (a la the base A6). I don't have the numbers at hand, but in automatic guise, the six is definitely faster than the four in 0-60 tests.
We haven't taken delivery of ours yet, so I can't honestly speak to reliability, nor can I comment on the 2.3lpt with a stick. Have fun in your decision.

p.s. Anyone know what the top speed of the V6 in the U.S. is?
