^ No MB, no care

In all seriousness, it is a nice group of longroofs, and a tough call on which to take. The Jag & Volvo are lookers, but I expect the BM & Audi to be better drivers.

I’m guessing these are the 5-series class cars and not the smaller ones? I ask because the Audi looks huge.

Gorgeous cars though.

It would be great if this rarity was more readily available. Not sure how much it is in the market either...

Something about this wagon appeals to me ... like the Volvo 121/122 "Amazons" ... this is a Premier Padmini Starline "Safari" .... made and sold in India ...

Which planet-killer grocery-getter is still king: E63 or the RS6...?

I saw a couple of drag races between the two and they are remarkably close.

All other things being equal (performance-wise), I'd take the RS6 on looks alone ....

I'll take both

I think the exterior of the Audi looks better, but the interior of the Mercedes is phenomenal.

The Brabus cars are impressive, but don't do it for me like a 'plain-ole' AMG.
