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

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

The way I see it, BMW must have sold their soul to
Satan in exchange for Audi never coming out on top, at
least in those rags.  The Unintended Acceleration bull
drove Audi nearly out of the US market and just when
they were coming back and decided that they needed a
push with the release of the TT, they made it tail
happy and got bad press for it.
But then again, we didn't get our cars for the
"image."
There's something to be said for speaking softly and
carrying a lot of torque.  :-)
