And the condition of my A4 is now in doubt (I may have killed the
engine; I'll know more tomorrow). I shouldn't have taunted the Audi
gods.

While I admire the urV8, the A8 seems a much better choice as it is
newer, etc. Although I would be temped by the V8 in CT that was all
re-done and for sale not long ago (and may be still), that A6 4.2
has me thinking.

I like the smaller size of the A6, but A8s can be had for short
money. I'd be stretching to buy an S8, and I really don't need all
that extra "stuff".

The more I look at the newer cars, the more bewildered I become:
regular A6, upscale A8, A6 2.7TT, A6 4.2, what's a fella to do?

And if I was practical, I'd be looking at a FWD V6 Passat; that's
all I really need.
