    You don't consider cars based on looks?

    I doubt an Audi has any sort of neutrality these days...
    This:
    isn't neutral? Can you think of a bad thing to say about the owner? Can you say he/she made a wrong choice?

    But I admit the current ones are slightly worse in that aspect.

    Although I like the car, buying a C6 will make you stand out as eccentric. An XF has too much going on designwise and I can't really say I like the look, especially seen through businessman-goggles. Buying a Mercedes you always seem to pay for a lot more than you receive - and will project that image driving it.

    But perhaps some sedans from Saab and Volvo might fall into the same category, other than that I find it hard to think of a businessman's car that doesn't have a stigma / a feeling that the driver made the wrong choice. I'm speaking of a car that projects the message - I'm doing alright, but I'm still humble... I'm quite neutral - but not boring

    I do, but I do not consider cars based on what others think of their looks which is part of the critical distinction.

    Because to many businessmen what other people (especially clients and business partners) think can be quite important. In a way you "are" what you drive and it can be essential not to give out the wrong image.

    What we are discussing here is not a weekends car which is a completely different matter.

    Of course old Audis are innofensive. But why would you want that?

    Why would you want to be like everyone else? So what if a C6 labels you as eccentric, I probably am eccentric. Which why non-german executive saloons are usually great. You can deviate from the norm and not feel like you're a sheep running with the pack.

    And if you absolutely must have a german car, then there's always the CLS.

    As I stated before, perhaps going german is the "obvious" choice but an A6 isn't - that's why I'd take it over a E60 for a means of transport to and from work.

    But isn't the new one? I think it may not be as obvious as a 5er, but it's pretty close and in anycase people still hate you (almost) as much as if you drive a bimmer.

    And on top of all that it drives horriby.

    Audi have officially released details. the 2.5 5-pot produces well in excess of 300bhp and is a chopped down version of the RS6s 5.0Bi-Turbo V10, and to back that up, they've fitted, and I quote them "Stupendous brakes". The TT-RS will be released for sale in the UK next week after the official unveiling at the Geneva Motorshow.

    It may be perfect, but it still feels horrible to me.

    No no, buying a C6 will make you look like a mug, because in 3 years when you try and sell it, any dealer is going to look at you and laugh.

    If you buy a C6 to sell it after three years you deserve being laughed at.

    And if you buy a car for strong residuals then you don't understand cars.

    if you dont factor in strong residuals to a car purchase, you dont understand economics.

    It's not like we buy cars as an investment or for economic reasons, do we?
