[s-cars] M5 vs AMG vs RS6, winner is...

[Frederic L'Huillier]

I give no credit to this kind of comparisons. Journalists are doing so
to play with new toys. How often do I want to oversteer under the rain
with the family and luggages in the car ? Journalist will never use the
car like I do so this is the end of the story.

Bottom line is that this new toy from Ingolstadt beat them all and it
doesn't make the potential competitors happy. Too bad, they can back to
their drawing board.

Regards,
Frederic

RS6 is too compliant for them. Doesn't over-steer not as fun due to lack
of fishtailing ... just what I want to do when I am driving around town
... my take ... catering to their average readers that expect the M5 or
an AMG to win ... definitely not an Audi. If they said we like the M5
the best because it comes with a six speed manual transmission ... fine.

The bottom line is the RS6 smokes them all to 60 and through the quarter
mile and comes with Quattro ... unfortunately not with a manual
transmission. But essentially if you want to fly a little faster than
the rest without fishtailing the Audi is the only choice ... what a
machine.
