There is a trend here. Mercedes is taking knocks for price, but the comparos are saying that it is the best car - that is how it should be folks. When people read "best car" they'll want that car and the price difference here ain't nearly enough to make the Benz oh-so unaffordable. I'm fine with this:

If one leaves the high basic price aside, the Mercedes is completely clear the winner of the comparison. It impresses with mad road performances, good comfort and braking distances on Porsche level.

That is the way it should be, IMO.

Did you even look at the results from the link I provided? This was a good thread until you started pointing fingers. Booo at your post.

Sure we can long as we, you, us, everyone knows what the overall best car is. I have no problem with Audi taking a victory when deserved. What shocks me here is that the brand-new 3-Series takes it on the chin.

You win some, you lose some. Didnt BMW pay Autobild enough

Well well, car tests are subjective and victories are only good for bragging rights, I guess I cant bragg this time

BTW this an old test, I belive this was posted over at the old place.

Audi wins because of price/package for the money.

Always.

well a south african carmag drove 330i vs A3 3.2 vs C 350 and they said that 3er was a better car so the 3er won the comparisons. So its not always price

i drive a pre-facelift audi a4 and my bro drives a new 330i, and what a ride he has, beside interior quality, it is superior or at least on the same level on almost every aspect compared with my a4, and i am a hardcore audi fan... i dont know what's wrong with autobild.

Wow I'm suprised that the C-class won the test. I though that the new 3er was lighter years ahead of it and I didn't know that the car has very good handling. good job MB.

Its weird that only Autobild got this conclusion. Lets forget about others comparison cause Autobild obviously know what they are talking about, others dont

Autobild on MB payroll? Don't think so

Hopefully you guys will keep on posting comparisons so that we don't make conclusions based on one single test.
