RS6 vs. M5
I know this is an Audi forum (I know it because I created it, lol), but I was wondering, if you got to choose between owning a brand new RS6 or an M5, which one would you pick?
My thoughts:
I loved the styling of the 2000-2004 M5, but quite dislike the styling of the new one
The RS6 looks beautiful
The 2006 M5 has a V10 with 500 horsepower and does 0-60 in exactly 4 seconds...
Honestly, I don't know which one I would pick...in fact I'd probably take a BMW M6 over both of those cars just because it has 500 horses and looks better than the M5.
We could probably also throw the Mercedes E55 AMG into this comparison
Thoughts?

Talked to one of the tech advisors at Agincourt Autohaus who used to work at BMW. He had an BMW E39 M5 and it was awesome he said but the E60 M5 just blew away the previous M5 in performance and handling. He didn't care for the looks either.
Looks aside, I still think the E60 looks ugly, especially the back, while the RS6 isn't too bad, but I never did really like the exterior styling of the RS6 but the new A6/S6 looks gorgeous.

RS6 !
The definitive factor for me would be the same that took me away from BMW in the first place, driving experience. I'm unhappy with their direction, I beleive they have added to much technology into the 5 (and the rest of their cars for the matter). I want to drive my car, not some ECU.

Re: RS6 vs. M5
The interior quality i'm amazingly impressed with as well as the fact that I can drive it lightly cruising the highway but it makes no fuss about being thrown into corners either.
