The 2023 Audi RS 6 Avant is Performance With Practicality | MotorWeek Road Test

For most people, wagons are so not cool. But the enlightened among us appreciate them for their non-pretentious practicality, and quite often their driving dynamics too. But every once in a while, a wagon comes along that everyone can agree is bad to the bone. #Audi #AudiRS6Avant #RS6Avant

To my eyes it's one of the best looking cars ever made. Audi had always been able to capture my heart with their lines and angles.

His personal jab at E.V.s resonates with most of us.

20, 50, 100 years from now, people will look back and see how amazing this car was.

Exceptional vehicle! Power, performance, practicality, pose. Especially when compared with most of what’s on offer in new car market, as John rightly noted. The blatant swipes made at EV’s, COVID and software/technology in the commentary made this an extra enjoyable review 👍😂

I didn't know this used the ZF8 instead of Audi's DSG, interesting! That's a pretty major selling point to people who might be wary of reliability and maintenance costs, as the ZF8 is known to be reliable and has longer service intervals than DSG.

Though I can't imagine anyone who can afford this cares _that_ much.

Many people were drooling over the previous-gen RS6 Avant prior to this one's arrival just about four years ago.

If you have the money, this would be the perfect car!

Many of us remember the Griswold family station wagon.

Now *_that_* was a beastly machine!

Stay classy my friends.

I have seen a few of these running the streets here in Scottdale Arizona!
Nice but very expensive.

[StuPedassol]

I had a wagon just like this... except it was an 85 caprice wagon. And, I called it the Shaggin' Wagon.

[anibalbabilonia]

Man that’s absolutely one of the most beautiful Wagon I’d ever seen!👌😍👉♥️absolutely!

[dinorl]

Love this car, but not enough to pay $120k! 😳😬

[GoblinGrenade]

This has been my dream car since the mid 90's.

[wompa]

The whole Audi RS line has been my dream car for the last few years.

[mediocreman]

That is the most beautiful car on sale today. And performance to match! Wow. I hope they sell a ton of them so that someday I can afford a used one. haha

[trocycling]

That right there, if I could have any car I wanted, would be my choice.

[Ward]

Those wheels are wild. If I saw them on their own I probably wouldn’t think much but on the car they look excellent.

[theeric]

OMG, I love this car. The Audi rs6 Avant is so bada$$ 🖤🏁😎

[SirCentex]

This car with a roof rack is stunning!

LOVE LOVE LOVE, but, after our 3 bad Audi experiences (2010 S4, 2016 TT, and 2016 A7) we cant buy another Audi... too bad cause this is beautiful. and damn looks like fun... shame theyre so unreliable and most of their dealers are a joke... but what do you expect for VAG? Hey John, was there an oil pressure and voltmeter gauge? LOL. :) Love MW
