Bottom line is that at around $30-$37k, the 9-5 2.3 or V6t is more fun to drive than the comparably priced/equipped S80 2.9 or A6. However, as you move up to $40k+, the T6 really shows its stuff. At $40k, the Audi is prettier to look at both inside and out -- it a very premium looking car; however, at any price the A6 is more luxury boulevard cruiser than sports sedan.
