Did anyone see Fifth Gear last Week. Jason Plato raced an RS6 against the AMG Merc. He seemed to hate the RS6 and loved the Merc. Which car won. the RS6 by nearly 2 seconds. Admittedly it was wet, but even in the dry I still think we would have won. We are not racing drivers. I think motor writers sometimes miss the point when reviewing cars. I would never swap mine for a Merc

I have driven the merc, both the E class and the C class. Nice motors, if you want to feel like your going to be killed every second your in it. If you leave the TC on then its a bit better, but tbh the electronics just go overkill. Better to have the TC off and risk injury at every mildly damp corner lol

I spent a day at Mercedes Benz world the other day with C63, e63, etc etc

I still came away to my C5 RS6 with a smile on my face!

I've just ordered the e63 merc.
I like the feeling that it wants to kill you, just adds to the exitement for me.
See the thread 'looks like I'll be leaving then' and I go a bit more in depth as to why I have made my decision.
