Now that the C180 is finally out of the garage its time for its replacement. We were initially sold on the E 270 Cdi but kept delaying the purchase as the car kept getting more and more common. The best alternative I could think off was the A6 or 530i. The A6 is going to be sent to my dad this week for a complete test day(they want to send it for an entire day not just a drive
) and is priced at close to 44 lakhs. I belive the car has alot more to offer than the E and would also look different amongst the numerous E's that have flooded mumbais streets. But the Audi is still termed as 'The poor mans Merc' The tempting part is that the E 280 is due to launch at 41 lakhs in a couple of weeks. With 190 bhp under the hood and test proving a below 8 seconds touch to 100km/hr it sure seems tempting. Last but not the least my personal fav -the 5 series, i am not sure if its worth getting one imported as BMW is due to launch it in 2007 futhermore i dont have a price qoute on the 530i otr mumbai. Please poll in to which car u feel is the best amongst the 3, also if u guys have any additional info on these cars then do let me know. Thanks.
