Thanks for posting, I like the car and the interior is nuts but the color does help here too. I still see the car as a bit muted due to the redundancy (looks) in their model line up from S to C sedanwise. But if one dropped it, tinted it; the car would be an incredible driver and hyper luxurious inside for the dollars in play.

I agree with everything you said. My issues are with the tech. Even though it looks like a step up from the Command system, it still looks antiquated. That's also my issue with the RS7, but I understand Audi is coming out with a new integrated (no more flip screen) touch screen as seen in the upcoming A8.
As far as driving dynamics, I will be interested in seeing how the E63 handles and how much it weighs. I love that interior and the one on the S63 coupe b/c they just look comfortable. My M5 lease is up in 10 months, so without seeing any of these in person and test driving them, my current pecking order is F90 M5; Audi RS7 (but new version may not be out a year from now) and the E63 S. The Panny Hybrid looks great but my build came to $199k or the GDP of some developing countries...

Even if it isn't as good as Command, BMW really needs to catch up. The 7 series new tech while cool doesn't nearly touch Audis Virtual cockpit and based off video even this.

I will see AMG put an option on the table for sure. Crossed off the Panni Turbo no way I will spend more than 160k, and thr R7S will upgrade soon. So far on the M5 it looks like the old car, and thr AMG has killer interior looks like a 100k plus car. Never owned a Merc may be time to try one out .........have time need a summer 18 delivery so I can weigh the options. Told myself I will hold firm to three cars RS, SUV and what happens in 18. Three for me and one for the wife, and we split the SUV(:
