The RS5 is more of an M6 competitor isn't it? I think I'd take the BMW still. I love the look of the 6 series, but to me the Audi A5 series is a little boring.

That RS5 is pretty, granted! But for a super German sports coupé... Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG every time.
I know it isn't a proper coupé, but it looks it. And for the looks, the engine and the noise. Yes, it'll be this.
As for what car I'd like to use every day:
I think I'm in love with it.

Hmm... Can't say I particularly like mercs. There's something about them that puts me off every single time.

Oh, for the millionth time, the CLS is not a coupe! I hate these manufacturers (VW's another culprit with its Passat CC) that brand four door saloons as coupes.
@M-Oli:
The RS5 is not a competitor to the M6 but rather a competitor to the E92 M3. A brand new ///M6 tops US$100K, even with the invoice pricing discounts. There's no way a new RS5 will cost that much (or at least I'm hoping that won't be the case).
The only Bimmer that I love is the Z4-M coupe since it's probably the purest expression of a sports car. I drove it in the mountains a couple of months ago and it was utter bliss, an experience rivaled only by the Miata.

Yes, yes, I said I'm aware it isn't a coupé, however, the styling is heavily based around that look, so I don't see any harm in calling it a coupé..
I know many people are taken in by what the manufacturers say, but I'm not one of them. Ultimately, it's a saloon - but because it's so coupé-esque, I called it a coupé.

The new M3 smoked the RS4 and after my dream M3 gets touched by AC Schnitzer it will eat that RS5 for breakfast, lunch and supper
. Then il drive home in my M6
How many kw is the RS5 gona have? 309kw?
What id LOVE to see is the new Mini Cooper-S JCW take on the Golf 6 GTi
it will shut the mouths of many GTI fanboys.

M3s are a dime a dozen compared to the RS4. Combine that with that fact that most ///M3 dudes think they are Schumacher with those horrible paddle shifters and the slightly poor resale value (E46 M3s are going in the low 20s in the U.S. while a new one costs 70K), you can see why the RS4 more than holds its own against the Bimmer.
Anyhow, the RS5 will have 450bhp or 335kw, if the numbers are right.
You just brought back the memories. Here's the last snap that I took of my beloved '07 R56 CooperS that was modded with the JCW kit before selling it to the same dealership that I had originally purchased from:
'twas a real mountain screamer!

We'll see how it all pans out for RS5 against M3. Price and depreciation a side the M3 destroyed the RS4.
WOW! You had a beautiful CooperS there, i just love Minis
got to have a go in my close friends new CooperS, I was blown away by its handling,ye they are screamers, lol what gets me is the sound the exhaust makes after revving it, sounds like a rally car. Why did you sell it?

I agree that even though Mecedes call the CLS a Coupe it is actually more of a fastback.
There is no set in stone definition of a coupe as the goal posts have been moved hundreds of times but I cant see how a full size 4 door car can be called a coupe.
