Audi A6 4.2: Winner of Digital Drive award

Audi A6
The Audi A6 4.2 has won the Digital Drive award from PC Mag. Quite funny actually, because usually is anticipated more with Apple.
Anyway, congrats!
Some day every car will have a cockpit controller. Today, Audi's A6 luxury sports sedan leads the way with its integrated MultiMedia Interface (MMI). How does it work? You select a function such as Nav, CD, or AM/FM via one of eight buttons, then you navigate screens via the knob. In addition to the 7-inch screen in the console, a smaller LCD in the gauge cluster provides key navigation, phone, and entertainment information. Bluetooth is standard, and the Bose audio system plays MP3s and WMAs.

The six-cylinder A6 3.2 might be an even better choice if price is an issue, because it costs $10,000 less. You don't get a V8 engine, but you can have Audi's continuously variable transmission (CVT) if you opt for front-wheel drive only. Because it has no gears, the CVT drives more smoothly and gets better gas mileage. The all-wheel-drive Quattro drive train requires an automatic transmission.
