My only hesitancy on getting an RS6 sedan (assuming it makes it stateside) is the auto tranny. But I hear MTM has manual tranny conversion kits for Audi's (but I have no clue on cost and quality of such kits).

Still, twin turbocharged V10, hmmmm. Boy that sounds tempting.



No need to worry. The RS6 auto tranny is excellent. Even better than BMW's DKG.

The RS6 system is very smooth and very fast, manual up and down shifts are executed without delay and the automatic sports mode is excellent for ambituous drivers... The only disadvantage (just my personal opinion): the auto box should switch to 6th gear if the car is driven fast but at constant speed on the Autobahn. That would clearly help saving fuel while driving long distances in Sports mode
