I find the sportpackage for E-class boring. I rather choose the one that remind me of the mighty M5

Such comments are just sad...

I don't think this is a fair comparo for the E500. Now the FL E500(550) with 388hp and the recently introduced sport package will be a more fit comparo. Until then the current 302hp E500 is toast here. Plus the S6 is a tuner model while E500 and 550i are just "regular" versions.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but some of these comments are just becoming tiresome. It seems like a majority of the posts (or like half) from sunnyman12 are bashing an Audi in some way. He'll probably say that I'm just Audi fanboy that can't take criticism, but it's definitely not true. I can't say his posts are wrong in that they're against forum rules or anything (even though one could make that argument based on martinbo's comments in another thread), but they are sure pushing that line. I was actually surprised to see that you indeed liked the B5 chassis A4, but I think that was the only positive Audi comment you've had. I am a fan of Audi over BMW, but I do cede to BMW the places where there cars are superior to Audis.

You're welcome to bash Audi all you want when you think the LEDs look "goofy" and all, but it just seems the quality is lacking in some of your posts.

Maybe someone here can provide their observations (even though this somewhat off-topic).

You just worte exactly what I wanted to write, but even better. That's exact what I was thinking. Good post!

I'd take the S6.

Seems a bit of an unfair comparison!

The S6 is more of an S-type R competitor!

I personally think this is an unjustified post.

Voted of the 550i

siko · 02-17-2006, 06:13 PM

Though call between the S6 and 550i... the E wasn't even on the radar.
