More car spotting in AC today.

I wonder what Yellow 1,2,3,4,5, and 8 look like.

“YELLOW 9”

“YELLOW 6....Huh?” Did they run out of Yellow Cayenne’s?

Some other cool classics, the green wheels are a bit much:

Aston Martin DBS. Now this one I have experienced firsthand and it wasn’t this clunky automatic but a proper three pedal 6 Speed.

@clee1982 this one might be slowly growing on me, at least the roadster version

Can you elaborate on the differences having owned both?

I'll circle back to this later when I have a bit more time. The differences are vast and a proper comparison will take a fair bit of time to complete.

Why this over E63S though?

Cool factor?

The E63's 0-60 time is a half second quicker, despite having only an additional 12hp. Which makes me wonder just how heavy the RS6 is.

Looks-wise, however, there's no comparison: the RS6 is absolutely stunning.

AMG is listed at 3.4 0-60. The Audi is at 3.6 so not a huge difference.

Does this mean they're going to have an A6 avant in the US too? I feel like they keep changing what they're doing for a 'wagon' and the allroad hasn't really appealed to me in the past.

Mercedes website lists the E63S wagon at 3.4 seconds. Where are you seeing 3.0?

Literally every review has it listed as 3 seconds. Checking now, I see Mercedes Canada has it listed as 3.5. Strange.

Most German manufacturers are conservative with 0-60 times. The cars are typically slightly faster. Also, a lot of reviews time 0-60 with a short rollout, so there's a little more traction than just mashing from a dead stop.

The Rs6 will probably be 3.3 seconds. I doubt it'll match the sound of the E63 wagon though. Amg makes the best exhausts of the 3 big german makers and it's not even close.
