Default Fascinating - they rank the Lotus last (but barely), then the RS6, then the Jag (!!), and the M5 1st

I can't believe this aged Lotus Carlton almost beat the RS6, and even more so that they chose the Jaguar OVER THE RS6!!!!!!

Unreal - does anyone NOT pick an M5 when they test it? I really don't understand why they picked the S-type R above the RS6 though...

That's true, and since nothing can beat the M5 in the UK, apparently, it just HAD to take 2nd seat

Default Unfortunatly, I would agree with the mag......

its almost magical how the BMW's suspension can be both more supple and nimble at the same time. Power is not as hard to come by as a fine tune suspension. I would prefer BMW for driving pleasure but the Audi is a better family hauler and better value. And since I am not grading cars based on just driving pleasure I bought the A6
