As posted on the Other Cars forum, I tried an A6 recently and came away unimpressed. I expected that the price difference as compared to a 9-5 would mean a much nicer car. Wrong. The A6 is better in some ways -- nicer (but glitzier) interior materials -- but not as good in others -- steering is too light, and car feels kind of numb. There isn't the kind of clear advantage that the extra $$ would suggest.
I found the same thing was true of a 530xi, btw.
I probably am just stuck in my ways and don't care about the right contempo features.
I considered getting an older A8 but after hanging out at the Audiworld A8 forum for a while decided that the maintenance would be at least as time-consuming as my current 9-5 and more expensive. Plus the difference in tone between Saabnet and the Audi site is really noticeable. Like B Millar, one of the things I value about Saabs is exactly that they are driven by the kind of people -- you -- who make this site great!
