which car gives you more for your money?

s6 has 435 hp and an incredible interior with race seats(leather and alcantara mix), carbon fiber, etc....but the exterior is ehhh...not so great IMO. i prefer the look of the S8. The S8 is a beast (awesome 2 tone sport seats with opposite stitching looks great ) but too expensive IMO. what do u guys think?

s6 is about 75k really loaded, pretty similar to a really loaded 550.

basically here (in bulgaria in Levas) the S6 is 193000 and the S8 is 207300...
(m5 is 202900 and 550i 145000 for comparison)

so one of the Audis is well overpriced, the other is quite underpriced (guess which )

for that kind of money i would either pick up an s8 or an m5...

I believe all-wheel-drive plays a huge factor in performance. The S6 is a NICE car, and I would have to say I might just lean more towards that. That is, if I were to have a 550 to choose from. The V10 would get me I believe. The target for the S6 though, is the M5. I would take the M5 over the S8 or S6 any day. Anyway, my $.02.
