[s-cars] RS6 vs. E55 vs. BMW M5

[Paul Park]

*whistles*

Sure wish I could pony up the dozens of thousands of dollars to even be
in the position of having either of these cars.

Wanna know stealth? Buy a Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor Black on
black steelies with Kenny Brown upgraded internals. THAT'S stealth.
Nothing like making everyone around you slow down in fear(maybe that's
a bad thing, damn LLBs).

How can you criticize the M5 based solely on its interior(which is
aging, but still attractive), and its now 6 year old design(which is
still better than the Banglized Bimmers of recent)? Comparing it to a
Ford Taurus? That's a bit of a stretch. It is the benchmark in its
rather sparse class, and currently, it is the only to offer the ever
important row-it-your-own option. The press doesn't regard it as the
perfect car without reason.

I'd like to hear why you think the $88,000 Hammer E55 is cheaply
executed. With the vault-like structure reputation E-Class have had in
the past(less now, I know, but still), as well as the steep price mated
to the most powerful engine in its class...I think that's hardly
grounds for referring to it as cheaply executed.

Of course that's just me. In any case, I love this round of the German
Horsepower Wars.
