Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

Nice clip, can`t wait for the test. Audi sure is missing out of the big players with the absence of the mighty RS6 this year. What a shame!!

Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

But there will be the CS to take care of the RS6.
Anyway on a track or straigth line with speeds of over 120 Km/h the M doesn't have a rival.

Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

Are we sure there will be RS6?

It would be strange Audi having more powerul sedan / avant RS6 than R8 supercar - which will be Audi's image maker & cherry of Audi model line.

RS8? Confusion - S version of R8, or R version of S8?
R8 S, or R8 RS anyone?

Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

I read this article yesterday - Car has great visuals that is beyond compare. It just feels so classy compared to TG.

They didn't have good things to say about the S6 - basically it was more of a GT than a sports saloon, to put it in a nutshell. The car was heavy, Quattro was inhibiting, the car doesn't have enough presence, etc. But they praised its quality as well as its Q-car appeal. Still, they chose the M5 in the end.

The M5 met all of their performance expectations - it combines sport and luxury perfectly and it's their absolute favourite.

The Mercedes isn't too far behind... Less extreme than the M5, but it's a car that is comfortable & easy to drive, probably the most livable car among the trio. That said, the interior is nothing to shout about.

Yup that about sums it up.

Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

Truthfully the article really isn't that good, and neither is CAR magazine since they changed their format. I won't be renewing my subscription when the time comes. I'm going either either Evo or Top Gear.

Re: S6 vs M5 vs E63AMG

Alright, tight. Its very rare for Americans to get an issue of car or even more rare top gear because we have road and track, motortrend, autmobile, c&D etc. however to get a CAR issue you actually have to go to a book store like borders.....

However if your too busy dont worry about it.

Would believe I actually subscribe to CAR at 90 bucks a year? Nuts isn't it?

Preparing what? Buying yourself a new dress? Make up? Haircut?

C'mon, man, 2 weeks you need for that...
