Congrats on the new ride. By quartz gray do you mean Daytona Gray by any chance?
If so my S8 is the same color and other than the phantom black is the best color on a Audi.
Again Congrats may you both enjoy it in good health.

Quartz Gray is a little lighter and has more metalic than the Daytona Gray. I think the S4 we looked at was Daytona Gray. Vik I can't figure out how to post pictures, I can email them if you or anyone else cares to post them up for me.

Well the header pretty much tells the story, I purchashed a 08 Audi S6 last night. The car is for my wife to drive and replace her 06 BMW 525 with. After driving the MB 350 & 550 I decided to "steer" her into the S6. It's fast enough for her and keeps me from falling asleep when I am behind the wheel. It's also pretty easy on the eyes.

The V10 is great. Off line requires very little throttle and your off quickly. From there the car just keeps on pulling. It sounds quiet at low RPM's and comes alive at WOT in the sound department; you can tell it's not your standard V8 under the hood. My wifes BMW 525 had a soft launch and felt as if you were letting off the throttle on the 1-2 shift and was very annoying. I can say there is none of that going on with the S6.
