DETROIT AUTO SHOW: High-Powered, German Coupes Square Off In Motown - BMW M6 Gran Coupe vs. Audi RS7

DETROIT AUTO SHOW: High-Powered, German Coupes Square Off In Motown - BMW M6 Gran Coupe vs. Audi RS7
Looking back on the Detroit Auto Show, if there were two compelling vehicles I would want to spend more time with, it would be the all-new Audi RS7 and all-new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, both of which made their FIRST debuts.

While BMW released its studio shots before the show, the RS7's coming out party wasn't exactly expected.

Both posses over 550 horsepower, both have forced induction powerplants and both are four-door coupes.

BUT, WHICH would YOU rather have in your driveway?

The BMW M6 Gran Coupe OR the Audi RS7? Tell us WHY!

In terms of the looks, I prefer the M6,Sporty and Elegant. RS7 is very pretty, but from a design point of view, It is a little too over done.

A7 interior looks just like the A6. I think the 6 series interior is much nicer, and has a great design.

I still cannot get over how claustrophobic it looks like in the GC. The proportions of the hood, the height of the greenhouse, and the height of the beltline.

For me, RS7 all the way...

This is the first time I have thought Audi and BMW to be so close together. However, the BMW just edges it thanks to that more beautiful backside and the interior which is as good if not better than the Audi just like the engine is.

M6 gran coupe all the way. I dont like audi interiors and the M6 just seems to have a better presence. The rear end is better as well.

THE M6 GRAN COUPE ALL DAY! LOOKS BETTER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE!

They both look great. I want to see pricing and performance figures before I give one the nod. I am going to have the advantage to Audi. The lack of sexy models around the 6 was very disappointing.

cant bash anyone for choosing either one, they are both beautiful, i think id rather get the RS-7 because its more useful with the awd and the hatchback is more convenient, but the m6 is a beast.
ive driven the 650i x drive and i was blown away with performance ( and i have an m3 )

BMW all the way. Sure the Audi would be more practical, I can't get over the back of that Audi. It never clicked for me.

I would take the M6 GC, it looks a lot sportier and chiseled. The A7 is very plain/pedestrian in comparison, and it looks like the Audi designers just gave up when they got to the rear.

Both are nice no doubt. The A7 has a little extra utility, but im not a fan of chrome wheels, the 8 speed auto, and electric steering. The M6 will be pricey, but I like the design better, the 7 speed double clutch, hydraulic steering, carbon roof, and rwd.
