  • Audi A6 Hybrid:  Center of Attention

    Audi is getting ready to unleash its 2012 A6 Hybrid on Europe. It was originally due late this year, but now looks like it won't be on sale across the pond until early 2012. But the U.S. is still at least two years away from the hybrid--if we ever get it. Some reports, like the one from Inside Line, indicate there are no plans for bringing the A6 Hybrid to the U.S., but with our preference for hybrids over diesels and toughening CAFE standards, it's more likely than a diesel sedan...and Audi already sells diesels here. So we're not counting the U.S. out. Yet. Why should you even care if the...

    Remember our post last week about Audi’s new advertisement for the 2012 A6 Avant featuring a music score very similar to the one in Eminem’s top-selling track ‘Lose Yourself’? Yes, the same track famously used, with permission from the rap star, in Chrysler’s original...

  • 2012 Audi A6 Avant promo

    The recently revealed 2012 Audi A6 Avant luxury station wagon may not be coming to the U.S. but does that mean Audi can release a promo video for the car that’s almost identical to one of this year’s most popular local car commercials? We’ll leave you to be the judge as to whether or not the ads are too similar. One, as mentioned, is Audi’s new promo for its latest generation A6 Avant and the other is the famous ‘Imported From Detroit’ ad for the 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan, which starred rapper Eminem and featured during this year’s Super Bowl...

Sure, we're ideally prefer the monstrous twin-turbo V-10 that followed the model under recall, but we wouldn't look a gift car in the tank. The tank is where the fire risk in the recalled cars lies: a plastic valve that flexes...

  • 2012 Audi A6

    The new 2012 Audi A6 is without doubt a technical marvel. Combining such technologies as radar-based cruise control and adaptive brakes, full LED headlights, a touchpad controller for the MMI interface, a range of fuel efficient yet powerful engines--including an eventual hybrid--and of course, the sophisticated quattro all-wheel drive system, it’s safe to say that the new A6 is one of the most advanced luxury sedans on the market. But there’s another aspect that makes the new A6 even more special--its aluminum construction. While it doesn’t get the full aluminum treatment...

  • The all-new 2011 Saab 9-5 sedan has been well received by critics since its debut last year. With styling based on the 2006 Saab Aero-X concept car, the new 9-5 looks clean and muscular and recognizable as a Saab from the first glance. Inside it's much the same, with a smartly organized interior layout that's both modern and familiar, right up to the pushbutton ignition nestled between the front seats. Under the hood is either a 300-horsepower turbocharged V-6 coupled to the company's excellent all-wheel-drive system, or a 2.0-liter turbo that drives the front wheels. Competitively priced to...

The 2012 Audi A6 is no different, winning recognition from the EyesOn Design award at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The 2012 Audi...
