Audi S6 vs. BMW 550i vs. MB E500

Aight folks. Now that the new S6 is official, time for a new battle:

Audi S6 5.2 L V10 420hp 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds


BMW 550i 4.8L V8 367hp 0-100 in 5.8 seconds


MERCEDES-BENZ E500 5.0l V8 302hp 0-100 in 6.0 seconds

S6.......best looking and fastest.

To me Audi 4.2Q is the real competitor to 550 and E500 so 550i would get my vote but since its S6 instead, my vote goes to S6.

[The Artist]

what are the prices for these.. if they really are competitors then S6 for me no doubt

[Yannis]

All cars are great but S6 is more special cause it features a V10 engine and has a sportier image. So S6 for me.

No surprise here - I'd take the S6. Looks the best, goes the best. What more could you ask for?

[Vivaki]

I dont think the S6 competes with the 550i and the E500. Its like comparing the 535d to A6 3.0 Tdi and MB E320 CDI.

But if I was to choose between these three then the obvious choice would be the S6..

[Centurion]

Wow the E and 5er look really bad compared with the S6.

[Tumbo]

Well, since the 550i and E500 are the second best models in BMW's and MB's range, this is the ones to compare to.

Then the RS6 (that will soon come) will be compared to M5 and E63 AMG.

My vote also goes for the S6 . However I must say that this poll is very wrong !!!
You souldn't compare those cars , they are different beasts .
The 550i and E500 should be compared to the 4.2L A6 - (and then I would take the 550i) .
The S6 is just too strong and too sporty for those two , and on the other side much weaker than the M5 and E55 AMG , So actually the S6 reamins with no real competitors from BMW and MB .

I would like to see a 550is though !!! (maybe a turbo version ?????)
