I like the drop, but i dont get the whole thing of mercedes wheels and stuff, i will admit i like the designs of some of them, and some go well with audi's. But its just the fact of it being an audi and having benz badges on the wheels makes it cheesy in my eyes.

You should get chrome tips, would set it off better imo.

Chrome tips would look good. Do they make projectors for this thing?

I understand where you're coming from, but in my eyes it's no different than having BBS wheels on there. Just a different maker of the wheels.

i like the merc look on the Audi. All merc wheels even begin stock look better than every Audi wheel ever made.

Don't take this person nick,just expressing my opinion,like others have.

I think that year A6 looks ******* ugly as ****.

I can't stand the jigsaw look of the fender and bumper,front and rear.

Every time i see one on the road,that fender and bumper has a gap and looks like its falling apart.

The front looks so awkward,with its long nose and the rear design,looks awful to me,specially the sedan's rear,more so than the wagon's rear.

What was vw/audi thinking when they designed the look of the A6???

The newer A6's are ******* beautiful,even more than our B5's

I also can't stand any wagon,it reminds me of a old man's car with the kids and wife.

I just can't get Chevy chase's wagon in national lampoon's vacation out of my head,whenever i see a wagon. lol

The important thing is,longs your happy with it,that's what matters and not my or others opinions. I am simply voicing mine is all.
