Motor trend article M vs AMG...but no C included
I was reading the latest issue of MT and saw that they had an article of M vs AMG... they did comparisons of BMW M's vs MB AMG's but the C32 was included....
Below are the comparo's
M3vs CLK55
M5 vs E55
M Roadster vs SLK32
X5 vs ML55
Bimmer had nothing for the C32...

As a BMW owner... I think the S-Class is MUCH nicer than the new 7... I just wish they would loose the ABC and use standard anit-roll bars... much better for sporting driving, and it takes out some of the floatiness in the chassis... but the S is a classy big sedan, the 7 if FUGLY. (God rest the E38... the best driving large sedan in history... i don't think that anyone will ever surpss it.)

personally just on looks itself, i'm not too crazy about the new 7 (and this is an unbiased opinion) most of it works for me except the rear end... it kinda looks like a suitcase if you ask me..or more of an after thought.. either way it kinda doesn't match the car...
I loved the previous 7...specially with the deep dish sport wheels... i was in love when i watched the james bond movie (goldeneye was it??)
The S is pretty sweet as well ..i would take either of those cars any day....
(note to self... keep playing lottery to afford S class or 7 series
)

Motor Trend once named the:
- Chevrolet Vega
- Dodge Omni
- Renault Alliance
...their cars of the year.
Do you still trust their opinion?

IMO, that is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. hehehe
But I honestly feel that the M3 is better than the CLK, the M5 is better than the E55, and the X5 4.6is is better than the ML55.
I do think the SLK 32 AMG is better than the Z3 M Roadster though.
Just my opinion. =)

I've seen both in person.
The SLK is much nicer looking and has the convertible hard top.
However, both cars look a little dated. I've never been a fan of the Z3 anyway.
I like the NEW MB interior style a lot more than the old style found in most of their current cars.
On another note, I sat in an SL500 and it was spectacular. The dash is leather, and stiched together with the airbag covers etc.
It makes my dad's S500 interior look cheap in comparison.

I like the Z3s in general (duh) BUT that chassis is just WAY overpowered with the S54 engine. BUT... the M coupe, is not at all overpowered....
