Re: Latest AMS comes tomorrow

Why in the world they would compare a CLS550 to a Maser and XJR is beyond me. Uh..the CLS63 AMG is the car for that comparo.

The CLK550 is going to be eaten alive for not being sporty enough, though it outpowers the 335i and S5.

The compare the CLS 550 because it has 388 hp! The CLS 63 would be just to powerful...

maybe they dont want the sportiest car but the one with best comfort?

my prediction:
1. S5
2. 335
3. CLK500

There are no competitors in that class for the M3. Only the GT3 is which has around the same power and rear-wheel drive. The R8, RS4 and S5 are AWD cars, the C63 AMG is just a premier-car now, so... That was the best choice IMO.

makes more sense comparing a 997 S with the performance kit to a M3, not GT3 imo

anyway, since AMS prefer comfort, I predict the M3 to win
