Best 4-Door Sports Saloons Discussion

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Audi RS7 is praised for its engine, sound, and drive, offering excellent value compared to Mercedes or Bentley equivalents, and its Quattro system is highly effective in all seasons.
• For pure performance, the new BMW M3 is a strong contender, while the Audi RS6 excels in everyday drivability and practicality. Audi RS models generally offer better ride quality than M and AMG products due to their air suspension.
• Beyond traditional fossil fuel options, the Tesla Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode is highlighted as one of the fastest accelerating production cars, offering a high-performance electric alternative.
• In luxury car-dense areas like Toronto, the Audi RS7 can be perceived as understated, blending in with the high volume of German luxury cars and Porsches, making it a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.
• The Porsche Panamera and Mercedes CLS AMG are strong contenders in the 4-door sports saloon category, with the Lexus IS F suggested as a smaller alternative.
• Alpina models, such as the B7 Biturbo, are presented as compelling alternatives to BMW M cars, especially given recent shifts in M car philosophy.
