Not correct.  The A6 was (and still is) the only "Luxury Car" to achieve the
double 5-star rating.  However, a number of rather ordinary cars and trucks
of lesser "class" have also gotten 5X2 stars - including the Ford Bronco(!)
and Chevrolet Camero, if memory serves.

It's still quite an achievement, but not an exclusive.
