Thanks for posting Wimmer

What a BS test though Impossible that the Jaguar wins over the BMW.
If Jaguar comes with it's flagship SV8 BMW should come with the almighty M5 and then ask again: 'who is more dynamic?'

A 550i with 367 hp beats the Jag with 416 hp to 100 km/h though. Nice.

Because the point in the Lexus, its selling and marketing argument, is the Hybrid-drive. It is all Lexus is about nowadays, for me it's quite a nonsense to buy a non-hybrid Lexus today. I'm always surprised when I see an RX350... I somehow assume that every recent Lexus is hybrid, and many people do like me. And honestly, if I had to buy a Lexus, I would take a hybrid. Even if it's not perfect, it's the hot point of a Lexus today.

I wonder if they sell many GS460, RX350 and LS460 compared to the sales of their hybrid counterparts?

Finally the E500 gets the praise it deserves! Seeing that this was a test of allround capabilities of luxury cars I have a hard time thinking of a better winner.
