I think American car magazines, and the British ones too, are the guys who really spend time trying to get the best 0-60 times out of the cars they test. In my experience, German car magazines "half heartedly" just test them from a few 0-100 km/h times and pick the best one.

And normally no one really tests the 0-100 km/h data on every red traffic light. I am personally more interested in the date of 80-120 km/h and so on...

Same here. Midrange acceleration is more useful in daily driving.

And it probably cost less than the X5.

I'm a Mercedes man, but I'd take the RR over either and the X5 over the ML.
