How old is that test 550i? Doesn't even have the new Active seat headrest design???

550i for me. Although I'd pick the 535i ahead of all of these cars. The Mercedes and the Jag tied for second and the rest follows after. All are good cars. Can't go wrong with any of these vehicles...

For active seats yes. I have the new design in my 5er. It is on the new X5, X6 and FL 6er as well. The old active seat headrest has been replaced with a new one. This test car is atleast a year old, maybe older...

Doesn't really make a difference I suppose. I just prefer the new headrest design and comfort and it is a safer design as well....

The AMG Sport Package on the other hand doesn't add any suspension tuning, only cosmetics.

I see,coz from the pics it just looks like a normal E avangarde,which doesn't normally have the sportiest suspension an E can optionally have.

I know that they can't specify exactly what kind of car they want to test, but I thought it was a bit strange that all the Germans had the stereotypical business-as-usual black on black interiors, while the Jag had the open airy beige interior. I thought that was kind of ridiculous that they would even comment on the fact that the Jag interior was more airy and spacious feeling. Well of course it would feel like that!!!!

They all look soo tempting

and i didn't Know Audi put the 4.2 v8 in the standard A6 thought it was the 3.2

I couldn't choose what I'd have because they're all so great

Wow...look at this test compared to the recent that was posted. Completely different results with the new e-class.
