The writer clearly said it in the review about the M3: "too much technology." Thats why I said so to Tarek and with a smiley.
This hardly a good test so nothing to be hostile about.

I'm a Swede and I support Saab and Volvo and they are clearly better cars than those cars in the article

Though I quoted you, I didn't didn't mean just you. But the majority of the responses in this thread which just blindly slams the test just cause it is not the order in which they would have placed the cars.

Anyway, it is all cool.

Not because of the order but because of the reasoning.

Just have to say it. I pick Z06/ZR1 over a M5/M6.
I love all new Mustangs. I like the Viper and Pontiac Solstice is a cool looking car. Dodge Challenger , that another awesome American car.. probably forget to mention some others cars I like.
It's just that I get kinda upset when people think I dont like American cars because its not true.

i thought the cts-v was more of a M5/E63 competitor?

From the looks of the things the author has some thing against the C63 - reasoning doesnt justify it being last place.

Given the price around 60K, it's pretty safe to say it's in the M3/RS4/C63 territory, even though it's a bit larger. The thing is the CTS-V is larger than the M3/RS4/C63 but is smaller than the E/5/RS6

What I find "funny" is that the reviewer states the C63 AMG doesn't have a sharp-steering-feedback when every other review out there has said it does.

How much did Lexus pay him to at least get 4th place? j/k

In fact it is more high tech than the Merc, it has a real LSD as standard and the magnetic ride suspension.

Tested by who?

The point was not what car may be faster around a track, the reasoning in the article is strange.
