RE: Mercedes-AMG E63 S vs Audi RS6 Performance
Discussion
I test drove both and put my money where my mouth is, RS6PE for me. They're both great cars and there's very little between them on the road, though I found the ride in the RS6 (on springs) to be slightly better than the Merc. In the end my decision was more subjective than anything else, I like the look and image of the RS6, it's a very handsome car in my eyes without being too shouty while the Merc is just a little too plain for a car costing @£100k.

I went for Daytona and black pack with no badges. If you have the standard air suspension you can have a tow bar no problem and save a few quid over DRC.In silver and debadged please

That towing a caterham to a track seems to be a fine idea for a day of fun.
Or is that just me?

Surely you mean "Which is better?".
If there were three cars on test, you could ask "Which is best?". However, there are only two.
Good. Better. Best.
FFS. It's not difficult. Either learn to write English or sack the sub-editor.

t in my mouth and call it a sundae - misuse of ellipsis as well."Place your bets..."
Sub-editors head on a plate please. If he's still purveying his brand of illiteracy at Haymarket that is.
Do we add a full stop after an ellipsis at the end of a sentence?

I don't see the point in either. But I'm really glad they both exist 
Conversely I don’t think many cars make more sense than a fast wagon. Love ‘em. And the Merc for me please!
I think the Audi looks so much more aggressive, purposeful and brutal from the outside. That could be either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on how discreet or not you want your fast estate to be. However, the Mercedes has that fantastic engine that you cannot ignore and sounds utterly glorious.
I reckon the E63 edges it for me, too.

Got to love PH. Read a story about 2 of the fastest estate cars available, and all people comment on is grammar and the fact it would be better as a 2L diesel. I'm sure half the people on here are on the wrong website.
It's all the typical supercar comments that you'd usually get, that are now even being applied to quick estate cars:"what's the point in having all that power?", "where are you supposed to use it all?", "why didn't you just get a diesel?", "i don't really see the point?", etc.
It's either the wrong site or the correct site, depending on how you view of the place. I expect nothing less now;' It's no longer a site for enthusiasts anymore.
I own a RS6 PE and am very happy with it - I've done 30,000 miles in 18 months and I am not bored of it yet!
I would expect the Merecedes to come out the victor given the RS6 was launched in 2013, based upon the C7 A6 that came out 2 years previous to that. The game moves on quickly...
For me, looks are important, and no one does a performance wagon like Audi. The Mercedes does nothing for me in that department, and I've always felt their interiors are quite cheap too. The new A6 will out soon, and then Audi have had ample opportunity to review the competition and come up with an answer for the new 4WD high performance Mercs and BMWs. I look forward to the response!

It's as much a societal problem than it is individual.
