      Just come across this channel; I really like this car - looks like the modern re-incarnation of my C5 RS6. All the ones in between just didn't have the presence that this does like the original did in 2003 - they have really made the arches look purposeful again. And to do 30mpg average is impressive, better than my R8 and a whole load better sounding. Also having a quick look back to the C7 RS^, this C8 makes that look really quite plain externall, like an S version of an A6. Cheers. PS Reims is pronounced like 'ran' with a nasal n and s on the end...those crazy French And PPS half yer luck Audi UK paying the Flexiplus Eurotunnel - that big $$$ :-)
