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

Jeff-
In my ideal, cost-no-object scenario, the RS6 would either
have a true paddle-shift semiautomatic gearbox with a proper
clutch or the M5 would have AWD.

I bought the magazine and came to a similar conclusion. Appealing to the
sponsorship, readers etc is probably unavoidable to a mag editor. And
shameful to yield to the pressure of the collective. If a buyer doesn't
care about popular opinion, it doesn't matter what the writers say. For
my money, I'd still consider an RS6. I also snickered at the implication
that "fish tailing is good" theme. In my ideal (imagined) world, I would
have one of each! JP

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.
