The S6 is not a competitor for the e63. That would be the RS6/7. The S6 competes with the e550.

S6 is tweener though. For BMW, it's in the middle of 550i and M5. For MB, in between E550 and E63. Actually all S cars are. Targets all clients who are looking for these cars.

An entry level (strip model) E63 is less money than an S6 with equivalent options

Its like I said before Audi shows it all as an option where as Merc includes a lot of it. Like a Alcantar Headliner. Standard on AMG E63 and $3000 option on Audi or is it $4000

A loaded S6 (all options -B&O) is $88k. A base E63 is $94k. Not sure how you can say an E63 is cheaper. And even if the E63 were cheaper, at these prices is anyone actually making a decision based on price? If you are, I would say you can't afford either. Save money, drive everything, pick one, write a check, smile!

Just like all those SUV drivers, drivers of performance cars will rarely realize the full potential. Personally, I found the S6 to be a better daily driver.

I own a S6, but consider the E63 Wagon my dream daily driver!

Why write a check to purchase when leasing is a way better option (for most) Audi does not structure their lease program very favorable but Mercedes does. Example: You are correct the Audi is a bit less money based on Window but the Audi Leases for way more.

I had both and based on 20k down the Merc was 600 a month and the Audi was 800. it makes no sense. I tell everyone …do not be impressed when an E63 pulls up any shmo can get one. Guys that drive Audi S6’s know better.

However in a pure drag race the E63 is faster. Hell my E63 with a Renntech tune is faster than my brand new R8V10
