Martinbo, makes a good point. But I still think the S6 doesn't belong in this comparison, bring the RS6 to this comaparison and it would have been a lot more interesting.

RS6 didnt exist and wasnt for sale when this test was done. so they picked the closest enemy from Audi that available.

Good to see you enjoy the article.

Next time I will post the date of the test as well.

Of course Just_me makes a good point here but I happen to agree with you.
The RS6 is a 5-Star battle ship compared to the S6 and is a true direct compeditor to the M5 and E63. The RS models should be introduced around the same time the new Audi models come on the scene.

Audi misses out on a lot!

The S6 shouldn`t have been compared. It simply doesn`t belong in this league. The S6 is Audi`s answer to the Sport-Packaged MB E550 and BMWs
550i.

Anyway this happens to be ane of the most thorough articles I`ve read.
Very good. The E63 would still be my choice though.

Interestingly, I've had the personal good fortune of viewing a black M5 and a black E63 side-by-side. Now, whilst that M5 would be my choice (that V10 engine alone is the clincher) I have to say that the E63 positively out-menaces the rather porky looking M5. The E63 is lower, sleeker, eminently more elegant (as befitting a wa-Benzi) and altogether better to look at.

Make no mistake, I love the M5 and don't mind too much seeing them on the road but honestly, the E63 takes the cake in terms of looks in this company.

Still, a white E60 M5 with black leather and glass sunny - that's the only way I'd go when it all comes down to laying the greenbacks on the table in this category.

(If only I could...)
