How coincidental that is makes the EXACT same horsepower as the BMW M6 Gran Cabrio that just got introduced

Haha yeah, pure coincidence.

Looks awesome. I really love the look of the A7/S7.

While an awesome looking car, I still think the E63 is better looking.
Keep the change you filthy animal.

I like the E63 a lot... still don't care much for the front-end.  But, that 6.3 AMG would make me quickly forget any of that silly stuff.

Now this RS7 ? ?  100% pure   :fall: :drool: :drool: :fall:

Although this segment is a bit of a designer's indulgence (CLS/A7/Gran Coupe) I'm really liking it. I'd have a hard time deciding between the AMG CLS and this new RS7...but the test drives would be great.

My two favourite segments are mid-sized sedans and GT cars so this feels tailor made to my tastes.

The CLS AMG of this generation isnt as good looking as the first gen, IMO of course. The Gran Coupe is a little close to the Accord Crosstour for my tastes. The RS7 is a great looking car, but again, if it was my coin, the AMGs engine and exhaust note would win it over.
