I could understand Evo preferring the 2dr M6 to the M5, it was the concept of the 'softer & more expensive' M6 GC (even allowing for the more stylish looks than the M5) that they seemed to have concerns with. Group test win above is a different matter, especially when you take into aesthetics & value for money. I'm assuming the Maserati was Quattroporte?

Thanks for the tip; I'll have to browse their review

John, sorry for the slight thread jack - I do like the look/practicality of the RS6 Avant & the security Quattro would bring. My first new car was a B5 A4, so I do admit to having a soft spot for Audi, however, if selecting again tomorrow would still opt for the M5.
