Premium-Priced Finalists: Mercedes S Class; Lexus GS; BMW 3 Series: Audi A6; Lincoln Zephyr; Cadillac DTS.
Audi A6 was also nominated for Best Instrument Cluster.
I agree very much with the sentiment of your posting. At one time I was comparing the ML 350 and Lexus RX 350. I had told the Mercedes salesperson that I was planning to rent an ML 350 for a day from a local upscale rental outfit, to see how I felt about it when I took it through my normal day of city (with lots of hills), highway (ranging from crawling to 75/80 mph, depending on how the traffic is moving), and parking (where smaller turning radius starts to get noticed by people driving many different cars -- and the M35x has the smallest of all the cars in the class we are discussing). He commented: "Please, then, do the same thing with the RX 350, because you'll have worn the "test-drive experience" off the ML 350. I think his comment was well-put and applies here. During the shopping and test-driving, I substitute looking at numbers and pushing cars to their thrill-edge, neither of which is a good sampling of everything that will please and bother in everyday driving.
I didn't so much care that another car might "beat me off the line". On the other hand, I believe I would always notice the momentary delay I got when I drove the A6 V6 in regular automatic (there was less delay in Sport Mode). That not just horsepower (although I'm not sure what it is -- maybe the rear axle ratio) because my 2004 BMW 325i doesn't hesitate on take-off. Once that's over, there's nothing about the A6 that I didn't like. It's irrelevant to me if a 2007 Altima in the next lane will take off faster than I do next year.
But then, I, like a couple of the Edmunds reviewers, thought the sound from the M35 exhaust, during rapid acceleration, might grate on me after a while.
I like the fact that the M35 offers regular buttons for the audio system and the cooling/heating system.
The Audi -- I like just sitting in it and looking it over my shoulder when I walked away, but am afraid it might be a beautiful mistress who makes things complicated and gives me trouble.
Rotors have to get managers approaval as they are not worn out enough. I snapped, they warp, you fix? What is the problem?
45k on the car.
Are they begging me to go elsewhere? Duh? When I bring it in , in 5k, they still gotta fix the vibration if they want to resell the thing.
Then there was that pretty dark green A6 all prepped to be delivered just staring at me in the holding area.
And I remembered why I love these cars. Darn pretty things that drive great.

"Some day every car will have a cockpit controller. Today, Audi's A6 luxury sports sedan leads the way with its integrated MultiMedia Interface (MMI). How does it work? You select a function such as Nav, CD, or AM/FM via one of eight buttons, then you navigate screens via the knob. In addition to the 7-inch screen in the console, a smaller LCD in the gauge cluster provides key navigation, phone, and entertainment information. Bluetooth is standard, and the Bose audio system plays MP3s and WMAs."

"Check off just two options on the order form for the Infiniti M45—the Technology and Journey packages—and you'll be driving the most technologically advanced car you can get for under $100,000, our Digital Drive winner for luxury automobiles."
The Audi, despite its slight shortcoming in the Digital realm, is the most rewarding behind the wheel by a small margin.
Indeed, these are THE two cars that would get my vote (with my money) -- I would, typically, purchase the one with the best deal, I consider them THAT close to each other.
If you hated the style of one vs the other, well, that my sway the outcome moreso than it did for me, but -- but -- both of these cars have much to recommend them and they are far more similar than dissimilar with respect to the "overall" package if you equate, roughly, their looks.
The Audi's interior gets the nod, IMHO. The Audis transmission gets the nod. The M has a bit more grunt and is, as noted, feature rich.
Both handle well, but the Audi needs the sports suspension to overcome its nose heaviness.
[non-permissible content removed] for tat as they say -- for me it turned on the "deal du jour" -- when they were $200 per month apart (in favor of the M) it was a no brainer. Once the Audi got to within $50 of the Infiniti, the balance swayed back to the Audi, so to speak.
It turned out that the Audi was actually $35 less than the M and included the maintenance. Both cars were similarly equipped. The Audi had front and rear heated seats, the Infiniti cooled and heated front seats.
The M had a rear view camera, the A6 had parktronic. The voice commands of the M were a bit more flexible and richer. The Audi got better gas mileage, the M was a bit more spirited off the line.
The ride was a bit softer in the M, the Audi out cornered the Infiniti but had a bit more road feel in exchange.
The list of gives and gets is about as long as you could ask for.
I had read that Acura had the A6 in its sights when Honda produced the RL -- however, the Infiniti seemed more like it was gunning for Audi than an outright assault on BMW as has been written elsewhere. Now, I can't figure out what the market Acura was aiming for with the RL. Their steeply declining sales -- apparently rooting them in last place (even lower than the A6's sales) -- seems to attest to some ambiguity in the marketplace (either from the customer set to them or vice versa.)
The M has such versions and it drives sales.

Mark I couldn't agree more I've spent more time stuck at a fork in the decision-road, with the M35x and the Audi A6, than during any previous car-buying episode. Part of that has to do with there being a few events that are postponing the choice and part is that I enjoy the immersion in car-lovers-world that accompanies the deciding.
I wouldn't be swayed much by a comparison such as that in PC Mag, but thought it interesting to add to our discussion, nonetheless. I find the Audi very seductive. Every time I sit in one, it feels right for the interior of this category of car, and almost every comparison I've read agrees with that subjective impression of mine. The M interior is luxurious and delightful to look at but (I say this even though I'm leaning toward buying it) the experience reminds me a bit of stays in wonderfully plush hotel rooms -- I'm wowed and get a kick out of the visual sensations, but after a while I want to go home.
Today, on a trip to Seattle (the sun actually came out in the afternoon) I saw an "Audi" magazine from the UK at a news stand. I flipped it open and there was a letter to the editor from an American reader, emphasizing the need for Audi to put on a full court press to improve its reliability and dealer service reputation. That does get to me. It's not that I feel the day is ruined if I have to drop off a car I really enjoy at the service department for a fix, but there must be something to the widespread belief that one will not have a good experience there and that one will go there more often with an Audi than with an Infiniti (and that one will be treated well at Infiniti whenever that does become necessary). Yet, I cannot find actual Audi owners among my friends, who have had such poor-reliability and mediocre-service experiences.
I am actually befuddled by the failure of Audi to score better in car mag comparisons. These are, I have always assumed, driving lovers. I won't have the opportunity to drive the car for a week or two, the way they do, so I do rely somewhat on their reported experiences. I am surprised that they so rarely end up getting as excited about the A6 as the M35, or that they don't make more of the Infiniti having the worst mpg of any car in the class. If the 10% better mpg expected from the new Audi V8 proves true, The Audi 350hp V8 would be getting better mpg than the M35x V6. If there's an S-Line V8 Audi A6, it's hard to imagine a better drive-around-a-sharply twisting road (or just turning a corner) or that the Infiniti could produce a more pleasant highway ride.

Speaking of Automobile, they did proclaim the A6 their winna and champeen. And the list of accolades bestowed upon the A6 is long and mostly impressive.
I knew that when I plunked down my $ deposit on an M35x with journey, technology and rear deck lid spoiler.
The Audi, comparably equipped was about $200 more on a lease.
I continued to return to the Infiniti dealer to test drive the M35x -- I even bought a couple of DVD-Audio disks to try the sound system in the M out to its fullest.
I cannot support any negative reliability or dealership experience. I am aware that it can and does happen though. I assume the same can be said for Infiniti, but I can't prove it.
Here in our big town, we have two Audi dealers, two BMW dealers, two Mercedes dealers -- but only one Infiniti dealer.
The Infiniti dealership is owned by the same group that owns one of the Audi dealerships.
They are not known for being crappy or outstanding. They have been reliable and of good to very good quality.
Further, they have been helpful to me in a couple of dicey circumstances where they could have gone by the book and charged me for something and they went to bat for me.
I would expect no less from the Infiniti dealer.
I have had by last count 28 Audis, we have had (my wife and I) 2 BMW's (we currently have an '05 X3) and 2 VW's -- we had our most serious trouble ever with one of the Audis: a 1994 model 90S. The engine died within the first 60 days. Completely taken care of, of course, and no charge and no lingering after effects.
My current Audi is a pretty well all optioned 05 3.2 -- I did not get the sport suspension but did get the upgraded 18" wheel option.
Only the lack of the sport suspension ($250 at the time) do I count as an "error" (on my part.)
The OEM tires, too, are an issue, but this is much further down the uh oh scale, given, too, that Audi like other European mfgrs does not offer UHP all season rubber, only HP A/S or UHP summer only.
Get the one YOU like -- not the one someone else tells you is the safe choice.
This advice is, of course, free. . .be guided accordingly.
:surprise:
Some day, auto manufacturers will realize that dealer service can play as big a role in how their brand is perceived as the quality of the product.
It is not that the vehicle breaks down or have issues - they all do at some point. The question is how the manufacturer and dealers handle those problems that means a LOT to me.

Congrats on making the choice. I'm sorry it wasn't the A6, though. Keep in mind that many of the Audi dealerships are being remodeled and upscaled to try to enhance the exclusiveness and class image. My dealership is outstanding...
If the choice is otherwise about equal, I'd go with Audi if a lease and M if it's going to be a buy. They're both great cars and I too cross shopped the two before buying my car over a year ago.
M is a relativly new car and is likely bringing in many new buyers for the first time.
Audi and BMw have many repeat customers.
If having rear declining seats help get you laid, that makes sense. If just for the wow factor, Where are you sitting, in the front or back?
Good luck
1. There is a soul to Audi vehicles...it's something special that the Japanese mfgs have not been able to capture in my opinion. Audi is distinctly and purposely not BMW or MB...it's an Audi pure and simple.
2. My extended test drive of the A6 Avant three weeks ago was one of the most pleasuable experiences of my life....it just made me happy like no other car ever has.
3. I have owned an early Infinity M, BMW M530, MB 320E....nothing comes close to the experience of the A6 Quattro in any format...sedan or wagon...V6 or V8.
The purest driving car is the A6 in my opinion; dazling tech pops don't add anything in the long run. I tire of even the Lexus tech and long for the true feel of a driving machine...,life is too short.

I love this posting and the passion it reveals. I drove the M35 first among the LPS. So, that might account for my sense that it does have “soul,” assuming we mean the same thing by that metaphor. I then drove a couple of Lexus cars and didn’t have fun driving any of them. Finally, I drove the A6 and became tormented by its distinct “soul” and the M35’s also-distinct “soul”.
I’ve not been one who believes the Japanese car manufacturers just don’t get it and the Germans do. I like specific cars, or not.
Every time I test-drove an A6 with V6, I was aware of its being exquisitely nimble, like a great football running back, but I also felt annoyed by the slight hesitation I felt taking off from every start. The M35 simply took off.
I felt more comfortable in the M35 seats, going back and forth between the two dealerships (they happen to be on the same street, about two minutes apart) several times.
Going around a twisting test-drive route, both cars stayed on the cliched “rails”. I couldn’t move either one an inch off course.
I am hoping to wake up one these mornings and feel unambiguously in love with one and not the other, but so far ambivalence reigns.
Congrats on your order. My Avant just turned 800 miles and every one has been better than the last. Last tank of gas was 24.5mpg. The ride is luxury and sport in the perfect combo for me. I removed the A6 and 3.2 badging today and the tail looks better, less broken up by the numbers. The Atlas Grey has been through a few decent rains and does not look at all like it need a wash.
Can you tell us why you ordered an '07? I recently read in Motor Trend that '07 will be the last year for the "included maintenance" benefit from Audi.
I have looked everywhere for a set of cross bars for the roof rails on my Avant. If you know of a source I would be happy to hear about it.
Unfortunately, I am told the "included maintenance" goes away in 2007. The 2007 Avant does have a few new things: a rear view camera with advanced parking system, power tilt & telescoping steering wheel, and some additional colors on the nav. I am also hopeful they will have some form of ipod integration with the MMI to be announced very soon.
Bottomline, to maximize the value of the Lexus; I had to be patient, so an order made the most sense. BTW, they still have not released pricing for 2007.
I'm still deciding between a 530xiT, RL and the A6 Avant, but I'm very drawn to a white Avant at a local dealer. It's equipped to my tastes, and is my first choice color. Its MSRP is just under $52k, and I'm wondering if they would go as aggressive as $48k for it, being a 2006 model at this time of year.
I like the looks, inside and out, of the A6 the best, think the BMW drive is somewhat livelier, and the RL is a screamin' deal with the current incentives.
I've driven all three of them a couple of times each, but am curious as to others' impressions as well.
Thanks for any advice!

Seems like NOT a bad deal to me.
my deal was through Costco in April. The Avant was on the lot and stickered at 56,300. Costco price was 53,800 and the 1,000 Audi Conquest program cash (which I think stopped on 4/30) got me to 52,800. This was at a fairly small dlrship in Tacoma, WA. My experience has not been very good as far as the dlrship goes, but the car is spectacular. I would offer 47k for the car you want and come up to whatever you feel is reasonable. I sold Volvo's for a while and my experience was that amost of the customers I worked with felt I was lying since I was a "car salesman". I found all the people at the Audi dlrship have lied to me, from the salesman to the general manager. They have also lied to Audi USA. I wrote Audi a 2 page letter detailing my complaints and have spoken with Audi USA 4 times on the phone. The Audi rep gave me the manager's excuse for my not having plates yet and it was a lie. I hope you have a better experience, but be skeptical whenever they tell you something like "we can't go any lower".
You can be aggressive, but don't try to steal the car....it's not a Ford. Buy the white Avant; there's nothing like an Audi...really.
Obviously, I could simply make the offer and see what happens, but I'm not quite there yet - still liking the BMW quite a bit. Don't want to make the offer, have them accept it, then say, "Oh, really? I was just testing the waters."
There are two factors that are holding me back on the A6 - 1) Reliability concerns and 2) Responsiveness of the engine (3.2).
The reliability concerns come from a poor experience with a Passat I owned a few years back (I know, this probably isn't a good basis), and the relatively poor ratings from Consumer Reports.
And as far as the engine, I just didn't feel like the car was very "peppy," though it was very smooth and refined. And it's not like I'm coming from a particularly fast car (TSX). It could be that I'm just getting used to an automatic trannie (this would be my first one).
Any owners care to share some insight?
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron - 2024 Corvette - 2024 BMW X5 - 2023 Tesla Model Y
Not sure if this deal is a smart one, especially factoring in two mos. of double car payments because of my current lease...is this one I shouldn't let get away?
Here's the deal on the table:
36 mo/10K/yr mi.
MSRP $37,310
Payment $499
Residual 57% $21,266
MF .00120 (isn't that high?)
Thanks for your advice!
First of all, it's a 3.1 liter engine. Audi has always lied about this and it's very annoying. The convention in the automotive world has always been to designate the displacement of an engine rounded to the nearest tenth of a liter The putative 3.2 engine has an actual displacement of 3.123 liters and, as such, should be badged a 3.1 liter engine.
Now that I'm done ranting about that, I can assure you that this engine is simply not up to the task of motivating this car into motion from a dead stop. Acceleration off the line is, what shall we say, "slow?" That's about as good a way of describing it as any I suppose. The engine only develops a bit of umpf at about 20-30 mph and even then it sure doesn't pin you back in your seat. I don't know if it's the weight of the car, the complexity of the quatro system or a combination of these and other factors but this engine is simply not up to the task. They call it a 255hp engine (if I recall correctly) but I'm not buying it. It feels about 40-50hp more anemic than that.
If I were you I'd test drive it extensively before buying to be sure I was happy (satisfied?) with the, shall we just say "leisurely" acceleration.
Good luck in your search.
The reason, as noted above, is that the D program upshifts early and downshifts late.
The effects of this program (D) are sluggish responsiveness, or MORE hesitation and leisurely acceleration than the car seems to be quite willing and able to do when the engine's revs more in keeping with the engine's sweet spot of torque.
This is the first auto I have driven that did not appear to have the dread "lag" that was first discussed as TIP lag (from tip tronic.)
The 255 HP engine is a bit less muscular than some of us would like. But the good news is that the thing is a real gas sipper and is "adequately" powered as long as the selector is in "S" mode.
The damn thing is really lacking in responsiveness if, like many of us, you find your self coming to a traffic light that is red, braking and slowing to an ALMOST near stop when the light becomes green. The A6 Tiptronic when in D is in 2nd gear and if it were a stick shift would, I am certain, lug the engine it slows so much.
Then, when you release the brake and press on the accelerator (again in D) the car remains in 2nd gear and there is little pick up (apparently or really a lag, is up for some debate.)
This can be unsettling to say the least -- some believe it is dangerous.
Would more HP and torque help? Yes, of course.
But, if the same situation is replayed and the selector is in S mode, the transmission will down shift all the way to first gear and there will be MORE than adequate pick up.
Is the V6 FSI engine likely to win 0-60 time trials.
No.
But with a 0-60 time of 7.0 it is, to repeat, adequate to the task and still quicker than most cars.
Try the thing for 30 days in S mode, shifting to D, if you want, on the Interstates and Freeways of our land.
In S mode, the tiptronic does a pretty good imitation of mimicking the moves of a stick shift driver.
In D mode, the emphasis is LOW RPM's not zippiness.
Even the V8 version left in D behaves this way, it is, of course, less of an issue due to the higher torque of the V8.
And, FWIW, I don't care that it is called a 3.2, it is, after all larger than 3.1. Maybe it is for marketing since many feel that more is more better.
Qwazy Wabbits. :surprise:
In "S", the car is VERY responsive and PEPPY. Passengers agree. People sometimes get too obsessed with 0-60 numbers, and I have to admit, I was focusing on them when I was purchasing my car as well. Honestly, though, the car has plenty of "Oomph" and I have never been disappointed in it. But YMMV, so test drive it in "S" and see for yourself!
It may seems silly, but my first thought was that such a mode was gimmicky, and that I simply wanted the auto trannie to do what it was supposed to, without some "special mode."
I only recently came to the decision to go with an automatic. I've always had a strong preference for shifting my own gears. But once I decided I wanted a larger car with AWD, going with the auto opened up so many more opportunities. In fact, I believe the only choice in this segment these days is the BMW.
So, I think some of my sensitivity to the responsiveness is due to being used to a manual trannie and the control that provides.
But, I'm warming up to the idea of having an auto trannie. It just takes time... :P
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron - 2024 Corvette - 2024 BMW X5 - 2023 Tesla Model Y
In fact, if the low 7's is accurate for the A6, it's at least as fast (if not faster) than my TSX. And obviously the TSX is not about being fast, but a rewarding drive nonetheless.
I want that in a bigger package with AWD. And a little more punch wouldn't hurt.

Are there statistics online about this?
A "Cars Online" 04/05 study claims that more than half of consumers say they are likely to purchase or lease the same brand of vehicle that they currently own, while about 40% will buy from the same dealer. Owners of BMW, Volvo, Toyota, Honda and Mercedes indicate a high degree of loyalty to the make of vehicle.
Yet, when CR asks its readers if they would buy the same car again, not one BMW vehicle makes the 80% repeat-prediction cutoff.
Well put, in my view. Imagining, from my test drives, what it would be like to drive the Audi A6 everyday, I'd put among the 5 cars I'd look forward to finding in my garage every morning. While, I chose an M35, I'd have no bad feelings if I could drive the A6 one day and the M35 the next, any week of the year. I could also have kept the BMW 3-series I was leasing and enjoyed driving that. To me, those are three daily delights for those of us who drive every day. What differentiates them on a few half-hour test drives, when we all tend to make rabbit-starts and drive at our personal handling-skill limit around S-turns, needs to be put in a more realistic perspective when we are deciding what it will be like to live with any one of those three.
Why, cuz I want a different drive everytime.
Curious, it it "buy" or "lease"?
Anyway We see brand loyalty everywhere. Honda people buy Hondas, Toyota people are loyal to them, and so on.
I likley will go to an A6 if I say at Audi. I too will consider an automatic but manual 5 series BMW or X3 is mighty tempting.
Your assertion appears to be that, if asked in 2004 whether, as someone who bought an Allroad in 2001, if you'd buy an Allroad again, you'd say "no" because when it comes time for a new car you seek a different drive. I understand that and felt the same way -- I was much more interested in the Audi A6 and the Infiniti M35 (than the BMW 5 series) after having leased a BMW for two years. But you raise an interesting point -- you're suggesting that CR asks the wrong question (when they ask owners if "they would buy or lease the vehicle again"). Your implication seems to be that they should ask if they owner would buy another car from the same company. Am I understanding you there? If so, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that. My sense of what CR is asking, however, since they are surveying people who recently bought a car, is "now that you've had it for a while, would you do it again", not so much, "now that you've had it for a while, will you definitely buy or lease (it's "buy or lease") the same exact (updated) model in 3 years?" Either way, however, why would there be so much variability, ranging from 26% to 92%, if people were thinking (but not being asked by CR) "well, not the same exact car, as a matter of course. The variablity is what interests me.
When you say that we see brand loyalty everywhere, you seem sure but I was asking the basis (actual stats) that support anyone making that claim. The report I cited claimed that some brands have more loyalty than others and that we don't see barnd loyalty everywhere, but I couldn't find their actual data.
Anyway, you appear to be headed to a car that current owners love, according to CR, since 80% of A6 owners said they'd do it again.
I'll tolerate CR's appliance & paint ratings (we do subscribe), but have always (well, for the last 40 years) taken their opinions of things like audio equipment, cameras & other products for which professionals & enthusaists wouldn't be caught dead using the "check rated" item with well more than a grain of salt.
Here's a question CR might ask: How do you routinely transport yourself? a) walk, b) bicycle, c) mass transit, d) evil resource-sucking, carbon-dioxide-producing, non-recyclable-product-containing, single-person-carrying selfish product? If you're so bold as to choose d), then you'd by-god better be driving a Prius or Corolla -- Civics are OK, I think.
CR probably still makes a fortune selling their invoice pricing data (though I'd bet a lot less than they did before the internet), "how to buy a car" & "how not to get screwed" stuff to the car-buying (computer-averse) masses, so they've decided to nod now and again to the enthusiast or otherwise irresponsible car-driving masses.
However, their core supporters buy most things just as they'd buy appliances & house paint -- the truly anal also endure the half-hour or more it takes to fill out the annual survey book & don't (IMNHO) represent anyone who has passion about anything on earth but saving money in a PC fashion -- this cohort values green efficiency above all else.
Some of us are at the other end of that scale, where cars are concerned.
You say: "I think it's important to consider the source of CR "data." Subscribers are the source.
A separate question is what subscribers do with the data. CR has never been the primary variable in my car-buy decision-making. My own excitement about the car is the decisive variable, but since both enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts contribute to such surveys, I see no reason to assume the source of the data is inherently useless to a car enthusiast, who, finding several exciting cars, might use CR as one piece of information.
Best of luck in your search & decision process.
Pretty good for an "advertised" price, don't you think? That's an Avant with premium, 18" wheels, wood/leather wheel and rear shades. The white one I've been looking at is the same, except without the shades.
Pretty tempting indeed.

Audi ’s sensational , rule-breaking diesel racing car triumphed at the 12 Hours of Sebring on March 18, and the automotive world changed forever. The Audi R10 TDI sports car prototype finished four laps ahead of the gasoline-powered runner-up, marking the first time a diesel engine prevailed in a major automobile endurance race. It’s more than just a marketing opportunity for Audi—this entire racing program is an “a-ha” moment for the world and could be described as one of the most generous acts in the history of motorsports. Every manufacturer who will build and sell a performance diesel in America will do so on the back of Audi’s R10 racing program.
