Looking for a sporty 4door

Although i love the ride, i am getting tired of driving my Escalade ESV all the time. I am looking for a sporty 4door, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

I was thinking about the Audi RS6, or an E55, or something in that price range. Any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks
Pete

Ditto. It will be lighter faster and more agile than the E55 and RS6. It will also have a choice of either a 7 speed SMG or traditional Manual. 500HP V10

If you dont want to spend 80 grand for the new M5... the CTS-V is a nice car which is almost as fast as teh old M5 and costs only 45k new...

EVO dyno'ed a stock E55 at the regrand opening and it put down 422 HP and 470+ torque. Sweet car. But I would still go with the RS6 with a chip and Exhaust that car is crazy and super fun to drive.

That's about 496 rated flywheel hp , which is what all these AMG 55s put out , despite MBZ marketing that lists the E55 as having a few ponies less than the more expensive SL55 and S55 due to " exhaust differences " - yeah right .

Maserati Quatroporte, in my opinion, is the hottest sedan out (or coming soon), Also a Cayenne Turbo wouldnt be a bad replacement for a Cadillac truck. From the choices you are contemplating go with E55, very hot! Good Luck

Thanks for all the input.

I think i am going to have to at least check out the CTS-V for some comparison shopping. The new M5 is a possibility also, but i am afraid i would go in to get the M5 and drive out with the 635csi (or whatever the new one is called).

thanks all

Pete

A 645? ITs a coupe, you are shopping sedans correct? Also, the M5 I and others are referring to won't be available until fall and the waiting lists are already a mile long unless you know someone. Is this the car you are referring to? 645?




Just wondering??

M5 is the only way to go, E55 is soooooo boring to drive, RS6 is to bland.
