Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)!

1. E- class.. beacuse its just gorgeous dispite its age..and in AMG mode its brutal

2. 5er.. Not first cause its all trims..and it looks horrible wihout the M package..but with M package and M5 .. its almost as hot..if not hotter than the E..

3. Audi.. .cause its a real sleek car..abit booring..but really nice looking.. and stealthy

4. Lexus.. i really like this one..the rear is hot.. i like it on apprentice they have a black one that the fired person gets to be drived home in..looks hot
But it lacks something

5. Infiniti.. looks very sharp from the front..rear is wierd.. interior is very uniqe and looks cool..

6. Caddy-- cause the others after are more ugly

7.Acura.. that thing just looks HORRIBLE.. the wors of the poll..

PS
The jag option i do not understand..as the production version obviously will not end up like that.. so i cant vote for it..

Not the easiest poll, but I'm a have to go with the A6 with the GS430 coming in a very close 2nd. I love a performance sedan however I'm much more impressed with a plush cabin and high grade materials.

Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)!

I have to agree with the Artist and AMG 7.5 when it comes to the E-Class!
That car is still very sharp dispite it`s age and the engineering specs. are amazing! (The E63 is the bomb! ) Great posts guys!
The Audi A6 would come in second, I like the design.. very nice, and so are the engine specs. The BMW 5er would come in at 3rd. I still havn`t warmed to the design. The engineering specs are verygood though, but the design still has it`s bad side. it really doesn`t look handsome from every angle (the M5 looks quit good though.)
I want to add more content about the Lexus and others but I`m hungry as hell at the moment, I gotta go eat.

Drove A6, E class and 5er. Own a 5er - my obvious choice in this poll.

Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)!

I have gone for the 5er, because with the M pack or in M5 form it looks awesome. I agree although without the M pack it doesn't look so great.

I'd love for the new Jaguar to look like this concept, but I can see them toning quite a lot down. I hope they don't take too much away!

Re: *Mid-Size Sedan BATTLE* (E-class, A6, 5 series...)!

All the cars here look really good, but it comes down to personal preference.

Because we have an E-Class in the family, I voted for the E-Class (BIASED). But here's why. We've taken this car to Italy twice, to France twice, to England once, to Switzerland, Austria and Belgium and it really is a comfortable long distance cruising car for the family. You hop in, you feel relaxed and you drive it in a relaxed manor. And our E320 on these journeys impresses with an average of 8.2-8.7 L / 100 km! Not bad for a mix which includes highway driving, city traffic etc.

I'm sure the other cars are just as good and also have their advantages in certain areas, but I can only speak for my E-Class experiences.

Thanks, Christian. I can say exactly the same for my car...

What's the conclusion?

Two best from Germany!
