I voted for the A6. The interior is class leading and the exterior is fresher after the FL.

BTW the interior of the new E class looks very similar to 5 series....

IMO, that's very far-fetched.

Best Comment at BMW's aftershow party last night!

How will BMW respond to the new E-Class?

"I can tell you now by next year the E-Klasse's current moment in the spotlight will be very shortlived.
We know what to expect and what they can , will sacrifice , will improve and will advance on . When we get the first cars per agreement we will see how much we have to do , of course everything may be counterproductive and we wont have to do much or maybe a lot more than expected.
But we have a good idea where the 5er is going . 5er is one of the most exciting projects at BMW currently because 5er has a very excellent indication of what it interprets to the driver . And in this forthcoming generation we have clothed the new 5er in a more dynamic sporting body.

Everything will indicate that this will be a very sporting and dynamic car to drive even the suspension and technology will enhance it's sporting intentions and of course todays 5er is very efficient in both petrol and diesel , but we will enhance this further with the new model and from the beginning offer a mild hybrid option for our customers.

The 5er has to be good because it provides the basis for our class leading performance sedan the M5 and you need a good deal of chassis development before we hand the car over to the M Division."

^lol
It always amazes me when you drop these lines..
Who said this?
What is the source..
Was it said ifront of a crowd..or while mingling with friends drinking champagne..

So many questions..
But i guess as usual few answers...

I'm not too convinced by the new E - especially the front - but I'll reserve judgment until I see it in the metal. For now, the A6, which still looks just right in my eyes, gets my vote.

Both brands are returning to their strengths. MB stressing luxury, comfort, typical MB sturdiness / massiveness. While BMW are returning to more sporty / sleek / elegant styling again ... "an athlete in a designer suit".

It will be again about personal preferences: which character / styling fits you best.

Regarding the more exclusivity, more space, more ambiental atmosphere - BMW will offer the PAS car. With 4 or 5 seats. Lots of space, versatility, and more relaxing sitting position (compared to typical sporty low sitting position).

IMO PAS will be quite a rival to E sedan & model-T among women, elderly & taxi drivers.

Design wise, defiantly the E-class

The FL A6 looks amazing irl tho
