Audi A6 4.2 quattro: Sublime in all the right places

Great review here of the Audi A6 4.2 quattro.

Like every Audi from this century, the A6 marries sleek exterior design with sumptuous cabin accoutrements, and places it all on a stout-yet-supple achitecture driving all four wheels (the smaller, 3.1-liter V6 can be had in front-wheel drive). You'd think there's no getting around that 4,200-pound curb weight, but somehow the eggheads in Ingolstadt have imbued the A6 with a lithe manner, even when flinging it through my favorite set of twisties. I suspect the 350-horsepower V8, combined with all-wheel drive, gives it both the thrust and grip to counter that poundage.
