But if you want more power and you've got the dough, a 545, A6 4.2 or an E500 or an M5, S6, E55, might get your attention. But you'd have to set aside your fuel economy requirement and who really cars about gas mileage for $60 large?
G35s and TLs have smooth sixes with power up high, decent gas mileage and other attributes, but remian oriental cars through and through, a turn off for me personally.
Versus the entry level Germans, the 9-5 is quite attractive. The all new A6 is sweet too. Sold an '02 A6 4.2 V8 that wasn't such a bad car for an Audi....
You could be a fan of any of 'em. It's near nirvanah for the crowded mid-size luxury segment. Hell if a Cadillac didn't win one of the lates shoot outs. Go figure.
