2008 Audi A6 vs. Its Competition

2008 Audi A6 4-door Sedan 4.2L quattro *Ltd Avail* Side Exterior View
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

This crowded segment includes two German competitors that also offer station-wagon versions with similar options, including all-wheel drive.

The Japanese competitors from Lexus and Infiniti put their emphasis instead on V-8 power and technology, with the Lexus GS also being made in a Hybrid model.

The Cadillac STS sports angular, American style and big V-8 power, and it offers all-wheel drive, while Jaguar's slinky new XF sedan comes only with V-8 power, supercharged or not, and a glamorous, cutting-edge interior.

Quick Specs
8.6
The 2008 Audi A6 has plenty of competition, but its graceful look and feel set it apart from more brutal German and more clinical Japanese iron.

The 2009 Cadillac STS isn’t a standout for looks, but you’ll appreciate the way it drives.

The 2009 Jaguar XF is an easy car to love. It performs as well as anything in the class--and has unexpected glamorous touches that will win over converts.
8.0
The 2008 BMW M5 has electrifying performance, but is saddled with an overdose of technology and a body in need of a few nips and tucks.
