The A6's flowing, aerodynamic lines lend it the jaunty visage of a sport coupe. The effect is particularly strong in back. The line formed by the rear window sweeps back dramatically until it flattens out at the start of the trunk lid, to form a slight but aggressive notch in the A6's futuristic-looking rear end. Precise body gaps of less than 3 millimeters are just one example of the A6's excellent fit and finish.The $33,950 base price on our A6 2.8 sedan test car buys a long list of luxury features, including electronic traction control, a full complement of power accessories and fog lights. Our test model was equipped with the optional $1,750 Quattro all-wheel drive system; a $625 cold-weather package (heated seats, ski rack); and a $1,650 convenience package that included a power glass sunroof, a HomeLink remote transmitter, auto-dimming inside and outside rearview mirrors, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, and memory settings for the driver's seat and mirrors. The $525 destination charge brought the total to $38,500.
