To say the A6 is handsome is an understatement. Its rounded forms are coherent and harmonious, the parts melding into the whole. There was a clear and consistent vision in the design of the A6, apparent in the curve of its hood line, the sculpting of the tail and the arch of its roofline. There's nothing that looks out of place. Even Audi's four-ring logo looks as if it were designed for this car. New for 2002 are visible dual-exhaust tailpipes for all A6 models, differing for each. The taillights have new cylindrical back-up lights and turn signals with red outer lenses that flash amber. Up front the A6 has clear glass headlamps, with high-intensity Xenon headlamps optional on all A6 models. Not as visible but significant nonetheless are improved door seals and thicker glass for a quieter cabin; Audi claims added insulation reduces tire noise by 40 percent.
A second and closer look at the Audi's exterior reveals the tight fit of panels and doors, contributing a richer look and reduced wind noise. Next Page
