The Truth About Cars have published their review of the 2009 Audi A6 3.0T Quattro sedan. 'The supercharged V6, denoted by the "3.0T" badge on the trunk and the nifty little faux-carbon-fiber "Supercharged" insignia on each fender, is merely okay. On the road, it feels characterless. The powerplant never quite as strong as Audi's rambunctious direct-injection V8, which it's meant to replace. Over the course of ten laps of Nelson Ledges, heat-soak makes its presence known. Each successive exit onto the front straight feels softer. If you're in the market for an A6, or for the S5 coupe, do yourself a favor. Get the V8 while you still can. It's infinitely superior to this blown six, in sound, power, feel and feedback.'
