335i mainly won becuase of a better price.

------------------------------

I just read Autozeitung and they compared 335i to S5.

- S5 was faster to 100km/h and 1 second faster to 200km/h
- 335i had higher slalom speed than the S5 in the slalomcourse.
- S5 and 335i had exactly the same laptime around their track (1.44,6 min)

Total score: 10 points more for S5 than 335i which mean the S5 won the comparison.

The S5 is clearly the best car in the test but IMO the 335i offer best value.

Yeah! I bought one of the last Concords before they went out of business, decided to shoot to Germany for one hot off the press! Naw, I visited RS6.com to see if it was posted, as if such and important comparison could be missed by those fanatics!

As much as i love that awesome V8 in the CLK550 i'd have to go with the S5 it just look so fresh and modern!

Imagine when the RS5 comes out, when the performance can match the sex appeal!
