Motor Show in Bologna - Audi S6 Avant.

Today I have visited the Motor Show in Bologna and got the chance to see for the first time in real life one of the future M5's competitor. The Audi S6 Avant. I must say that the car is quite attractive, has many things in common with the M5 even though, IMO would be more appropriate to compare it with the 550i with Msport package.
The only thing I must say Audi is still too green is the HUD. It looks like an cheap aftermarket put on the top of the dashboard.

Here are some photos.

I agree with you that the HUD looks awful, but I love the carbon fiber accents and the quilted leather seats ala Bentley. Wish BMW would do something as striking in the F10 M5 interior.

Is it just me but do the a6 and a7 interiors feel cheap? Too much plastic for a 60-80k car!

I agree with the HUD sentiment.. Also, I dont understand why they can't use an HD camera, back up cam feels like it came from a Camry..
