RS6 vs. M5 E90 vs. AMG C Class

[Corvette_C6R]

in a match between the RS6, the M5 E90 and the AMG C Class, you will choose which car to buy ?

for me the best is the Audi, great looking car and the power is simply amazing

[Bentley_GT]

strange vote, they arent in the same "class"

[clutch-monkey]

hm, another landbarge poll
RS6 on the basis that it's not the merc and the BMW is tat.

Audi by miles, the username says it all.

Haven't stopped wanting one since, like, forever. And now I want three!

bmw, cus theres too much rs6 fanboys, and if a martian came here he would see objectively (past the image) that the BMW is a better engineered car, and thats what i look for.

[Waugh-terfall]

Duh, the Audi.
Seamless POWAH! and speed, superb build quality and more practical that the others, if you get the Avant.

[jediali]

...if you want your teeth to shatter with that ride!

[Waugh-terfall]

It's really not that bad to be honest. Even the Plus

[Ferrer]

Why the C-class? It's smaller than the others.

I'll personally take a CLS 63 AMG. And if not the C 55 or 63, or whatever it's supposed to be included in the poll...

[NSXType-R]

That is a weird comparo. The RS6, M5, and E 63 AMG should be compared, not the C Class. The C class is a bit small compared to the other sedans. I don't even think the new C Class AMG and the new RS6 are out yet.

Either that or you should compare the M3, RS4 and C Class AMG, but obviously the M3 does not come in a sedan format (I'm sure you could always shoehorn that V-8 into the 3 series, however ).

Out of these, I'd choose the new RS6, when it does come out, however. It should be the nicest one of the three. The E Class looks boring, the M5 is too complicated and fussy.

[stussy]

it should be the E60 M5. not E90

[john14]

Personally, I think the BMW M5 wins by infinity plus one country miles and I am not just saying that because BMW is my favourite company. I think the M5 is stunningly beautiful, especially compared to the Audi and Mercedes-Benz... the shape is absolutely stunning and the BMW more than likely is better engineered than the Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The RS6 and AMG C Class are still very good cars though.

[The_Canuck]

Car and Driver did this comparo. The E63 AMG was used instead though.

The E63 won, Audi S6 came in second, and M5 in last (crap manual apparently).

Now if there was anRS6 I assume it would've won.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Yeah, I read that comparo. However, tastes differ widely across the divide. The M5 gets saluted for it's credentials, but in the latest group test between the RS4 Avant, M5 Touring and E63 AMG Tourer, the RS4 won. The final verdict was, "In the end, I'd tell the dog to lose some weight, get the family to pack more efficiently and take the RS4 Avant. It's the most complete package here."

I look forward to seeing the new RS6, but I think it'll lack something that the old one had. Probably just my fanboyism coming out, but you just can't top an RS6 Avant in my eyes. The best Audi shape yet, mixed with that amazing V8... only the gearbox and ride mar the experience. So, and RS6 with a manual conversion and a more forgiving ride would win for me.

4.2 V8 Twin Turbo please.

E90 is a 3 Series. C class is not in this segment. RS6 C6 is not out. RS6 C5 is too old.
