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

If we're talking about the super high performance models I'll take
the E63 in a second. Not only is it good looking and well built, with
a well designed interior - it's a got an AMG atomic bomb under the bonnet.

If I was considering the standard 8 cylinder options (the non high performance models) I would be in a
tangle between the E-Class and the Lexus GS. In that case, I think I'd have to go with the GS, preferably the 450h.

The Caddy is gorgeous, definately my third choice after the A6 and the 5series.

He says "all trims included", so I'd assume so

All models of each particular car is included.

Example:

E-class = E550, E63 AMG etc.
Infiniti M = M35, M35X, M45 and M45 sport
Lexus GS = GS400H..... etc.

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

Since my first encounter with this car I fell in love. Why you may ask?

+ exclusivity
+ Its an icon in the carworld
+ high-reeving engine
+ sport
+ speed
+ handling
+ comfort
+ gadgets
+ driver involvement
= An unreal total package


Until the new RS6 arrive, the mighty BMW M5 is my choice

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

I'm eagerly awaiting the Jag. This is a make or break kind of product for Jaguar. Hopefully they pull out all the stops and elevate the level of craftsmanship we're accustomed to.

If, on the other hand, the car is stitched together like the new XK, I'm writing off the entire brand.

I don't really have a favorite amongst this pack, so I'm holding off my vote.
