| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) I would choose the Jaguar XF-R here!! Really love it! Great design and "different" to the german competitors! Also great perfomance between 80 - 120 etc!! Second place would be the E 63 AMG and then RS6!

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) I'm going to thumb my nose at the establishment here and go with the CTS-V, XFR and then RS6 in that order. Don't want an E63 or M5 this late in their lives. CTS-V gets my vote for being the first Cadillac that can truly compete with anything in its market segment and in a lot of cases, beat anything in its market segment. Love the new XFR and RS6 would need to drive those 2 to decide between them. M

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) As a Sedan, M5 is my choice. If its a Kombi then Rs6 is my choice. I won't vote.

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) RS6 is my choice for now. Followed by the XF-R. But when the new W212 E63 comes out, that will change everything, I can rest assure that. |

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) I'm surprised the E63 is winning. As a Merc fan I have to admit, the W211 E63s time to shine is over. Can't wait until the W212 E63 comes out it will a true beast. |

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) I've driven both E63 and M5. Between these two my vote is clear. M5 is more engaging to drive, sounds prettier, sportier gearbox, and have a wonderful highreeving engine. I've driven previous Rs6, I really want to drive the latest RS6. Something tells me I'm going to love the car.

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) Jaguar XF-R for me! Best looking out of all of them, in my opinion.

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) I'd take the RS6 over the E63, and the rest are not to my taste.

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) Very simple... M5 gets my vote! How often you guys see a V10 revving over 8000 rpm? ![]() Some basic reasons; 1: Naturally aspirated. 2: Rwd. 3: A proper 4-door sports-car since day 1. 4: Power to Weight Ratio. 5: Last but not least... it's a Bmw!

| Re: The battle os the sedans. (RS6 vs the others) The M5 for sure. It is by far the best in this group at what I seek in a car - the "fun to drive" factor. Still unbeaten. Maybe in the same way that the S-class is still the best at being what the segment it defines demands. That said, the M5 has often been slower in a straight line and sometimes also on track but no one has ever come close to what the M5 is all about and that goes for most generation. That is what is so facinating about it.
