I absolutely love the RS6... the fact that there's a wagon version now is even more hotness 
I used to not like wagons until I realized just how damn useful they are in everday life.... props to Audi to making the best looking wagons out on the road (though I'd take a Subie wagon in a heartbeat as well...)

On looks, I'll take the Mercedes
I won't get into 0-60 times, but on looks alone, I gotta disagree with several of you guys here. Though I am often critical of Mercedes products quality-wise ( and justified ) , this Mercedes wagon, I think, looks better than ANY Audi wagon made. The front end , with the quad headlights, especially, looks good.

I like the look of the E55 sedan more than the Audi RS6 sedan & will choose the E55 sedan over the Audi despite the fact that the RS6 beat the E55 in most of the 7 or 8 magazine comparison tests I've seen so far. But the wagon version of the E class completely destroys the beauty of the car, as mentioned above the back of the car doesn't go with the front.

I'll take the MB over the AUDI any day.
Herd any good things about AUDI US Dealer service lately?
Reliabitity and service if important....MB is the clear choice here.
OK, one more nail in the AUDI's forehead.
Close, But No Cigar

On paper, Audi's limited-edition RS 6 is a shoo-in. After all, it gets a more-than-respectable 450 hp and a healthy 415 ft.-lb. of torque from its twin-turbo 4.2-liter DOHC V8. Audi pairs this motor with its proven Quattro all-wheel-drive system. But short of hooking up a nitrous oxide bottle to the German sedan, we could not get the RS 6 into the 12-second bracket. We tried every driving style any one of us could come up with. We had everyone on the staff take a couple of cracks at hustling it down the strip. Basically, we did everything we could think of, but we couldn't get this sedan to cover 1320 ft. from a standing start in less than 13 seconds. Make no mistake, the Audi RS 6 is one quick machine. Just don't challenge a guy in a Mercedes E55 AMG to a drag race.
