Yes. Big fan of RS wagons. Shame about no MT. Which begs the question, is it really better than an E63S AMG?

"25 examples to the US"
Dealers won't mark up the price, right?

THe e63 likely drives a bit better- it's a more balanced platform, but I'd go for the RS6 just cause I love the way it looks (both inside and out) so much better. THe current E class styling looks melted and droopy to me. The RS6 wagon actually got me interested in the regular A6 allroad- I think Audi did a really nice job of the design for this generation.

One of my current pet peeves with MB is that their true AMG products are not all that differentiable from regular models with AMG kits. Other than tiny badges or exhaust pipe count give away a real AMG. |

Audi is significantly better looking but MB sounds like a better, much more useful wagon.
