Audi A6 3.2 quattro: All-wheel-drive luxury sport sedan comparison test

Audi A6
Calling it "the spiritual and mechanical godfather of the segment" is a good and welcoming start for a comparison test including an Audi A6 3.2 quattro.
At the end the Audi finished second which is not bad, but if you take a look at the winner, maybe your opinion will change. The winner is the Acura RL!
Again I have a feeling that these test, especially in the US, only focus on horsepower. If you want that, take the Audi A6 4.2 which develops 335 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds, and not the entry version.
Where are such things like styling, design, built quality, overall impression and so on?
If you consider them, there will no better car than the Audi A6. This is truly one of the best cars Audi has ever made, maybe the best one ever.
So please don't compare an Audi A6 with soulless machines like an Acura, Infinity and Lexus.
