Well, the RS6 is the avant (wagon) I think.

Cool video, but I'd call the new M5 "THE UGLY TRUTH" LOL Love those power side bolsters though.

RS6 loses against the new M5 .... I would have expected nothing else ...

No manufacturer would come with a new top-of-the-line car that will get beaten by the competition ... especially on their own specialty ...

for styling i would take the Benz hands down... but as far as drivability, i would take the BMW..." the world's best driving sedan"

I would expect that Mercedes will come with an enhanced version of the E55 to beat the M5, at least on power... perhaps E65

Even the old M5 did very well against the new E55 in most magazine comparison tests. the benz is the best looking of the 3 tho.

Most of the E55, RS6 and M5 owners are not going to use the full potential anyway,

Exactly.

Which is why RS6 offshore exhaust = teh wiNnaR!!!!!!111one~



Regardless, all amazing machines. I wish Lexus makes the next LS in a sport version with a high-strung 5.0L V8 belting out at least 480HP and runs the exhaust back with as little muffling as possible...
