Not in Silicon Valley that I've seen. I'd like to see one. Decide if it
is as ugly as the pictures make it look. The magazine articles say it looks
better in real life.

Re: 2005 Audi A6 -- anyone seem them at a U.S. dealer yet?
You can find this in the archives, but I'll repeat it here for your
convenience:
I saw two 2005 A6's at my local dealer last week, but they were Canadian
spec, just passing through the Port of Houston. One was a 3.1 V-6 with FSI,
the other was a 4.2 V-8 w/o FSI.
I was allowed to sit in the cars, but not to drive. The increased overall
size impressed me, and the interior not unlike the new A8. The MMI is easier
to use, and has a nice color screen that is always visible, unlike the
pop-up screen in the A8. Both cars had very comfortable and supportive sport
seats. The trunk is huge, bigger than the A8. Rear seat room is much
improved for six-footers like me. CD changer is in the glove compartment;
phone is in the armrest, and is detachable.
The 4.2 had 18" wheels like on the new A8, and the 3.1 had 17" wheels. It
looks better with the 18 inchers.
As for the new grille, it looks much better in the flesh than in photos, and
I don't find it offensive as some do. It's merely an evolution of the old
twin grills into a single, large grill.
I was told the 4.2 with all options will be around $56K, while the 3.1 is in
the 40's. I am also told that 4.2's will be rare!

After seeing a couple in the wild, I saw one at the dealership last
week. It looks really awesome! It looks like a 4-door Nuvolari (which
I saw IRL at the Brussels car expo half a year ago). The general line
of the car is very coupe-like IMHO. Looks a lot better than the fugly
5-series and according to my dealer a lot cheaper as well, but haven't
compared them for myself yet.
