Aesthetically speaking, I have to say the M5 is a far better than that RS6 IMO....
+1 for it being a shame it's not going to be released in the US...

I read somewhere in the rumor mill that BMW is considering turbo charging the V10 in the M5. IF this is true, this is a head to head challenge I would love to see! Turbo M5 vs RS6!
