Reviews SummaryThe Audi A6 was last completely overhauled for the 2004 model year, but the midsize German luxury car still offers enough advanced technology and comfort features to keep it relevant in a competitive segment. The 2008 A6 is available as a new car in both sedan and wagon formats, the latter of which is known as the A6 Avant. The A6 can be loaded up with the latest in entertainment, comfort, and performance tech, but its price tag grows quickly with each addition. That’s not out of line with the rest of the segment, but are Audi’s efforts enough to hold off newer and less expensive competition from other parts of the car world? | |
Reviews SummaryThe second-generation Lexus IS debuted as a new car for 2006. While not as overtly sporty as its predecessor, this IS now has the comfort and refinement shoppers expect from a Lexus. But just when you think Lexus is going to sleep, it pulls a fast one: New for 2008 is the Lexus IS F, an absolutely wild sport sedan with a massive V8 engine. | |
