And I would pick a GT-R over an S6 any day even with the GT-R's less comfortable ride and refinement.
A GTR and an S6 are two TOTALLY different types of cars. One is a pure performance monster while the other is a luxury rocket. I have zero desire for a car with lack of refinement. And for the price, an S6 is a tremendous value. It will complement my M3 very nicely. There is no question about what I am after here...luxury, style, and space with blistering street capability. I cross shopped a 550xi M-sport also, but it didn't steer as well and the interior was not as nicely styled.
