You know, that A6 front end is growing on me but all I've ever seen it with is European plates. Those seem to fit nicely across the grille. How will it look with standard US plates? Or no plate in my case? Of course I voted for the E.

But Audi interiors are really well done. It was my favorite part of my departed S4.

When I voted, for the E of course, it pretty much was a three way tie more or less. I'm surprised the 5' numbers are so high. After seeing the new A6, I really don't care for it too much either outside or inside, which are usually well done.

Come on guys, get voting. We can't let that ugly E60 win. It looks like you can place 1 vote per day. Get in there!!!!!

I suppose those voting for the BMW haven't seen the car from the rear. It looks like two different designers couldn't agree on what it should look like.

I felt sorry for the Audi so I voted for - - - - Okay, The E-class got my vote.

Hey, I'm doing all I can! I voted in the best Chicago tradition, early and often. I voted yesterday and today with both of my accesses for the "E". That's 4 votes!

I notice you come from Texas, but in your last elections, I trust you never had multiple votes in Florida ????

No, I have never voted in Florida. I do know how to make sure my vote counts by reading the ballot and either punching out the hole completely or filling in the appropriate space. I have 2 internet access accounts and 2 computers on my home lan so I can vote from my business address as well as my personal one.

I've been going through all my cookies just in case they were controlling the 1 vote per day thing, unfortunately not!
