I had a chance to read the R&T article last night.
One of the more balanced summaries I've read, when you consider all the info presented.
They didn't whine so much about the E55 brakes as some others have, and they actually complimented MB on steering feel and road feedback (sounded like they had very low expectations and were pleasantly surprised).
I still don't understand why more people aren't put off by the RS6 interior--for that price in particular. It's so dated and dull. Just like the exterior.
