  | The rating system almost leads you to believe that these cars did POORLY. I mean 300 points out of 500? If this had been an A6 2.0 vs 520i vs E200 Kompressor review we would probably be seeing 450 points / 500.

Great looking car though, and much nicer in the metal than in pictures.

| Stunning group of cars, XFR or E63 for me, we don't get the RS6 here. M

| Since RS6 is not available in Canada my car is still the number one.

| Yup, 5 year old M5 still reigns, bar the monstrous RS6 which doesn't exist here in US and costs a shit load more where it does, but still kudos to Audi for having the balls to create that monster. My choice: M5 - the best handling RS6 - the fastest XFR - the prettiest E63 Anyone have the actual numbers or scans? And why no CTS-V, it probably handles as well as M5 and is probably as fast as RS6. |

| It would honestly be the most difficult to choose just one. Kudos to Audi! I feel the RS6 definitely deserves it.

| You can watch a bit of video surrounding the test here, no XFR though?  E63 with carbon ceramic brakes and 19inch wheels in Chromite black for me thanks. |

| These kinda tests for me are a testament to the M5's absolute brilliant engineering. I know there are numerous complaints still today after 5 years about the uncomfotable gearbox. But just imagine BMW had put in a 7 speed DCT. I don't think offering from any manufacturer (in this segment) would've been able to touch this car. Don't forget that it's 5 years old already. |
