Japanese Articles of C55 vs M3

Just picked up this Japanese magazine for the airport.
Japanese car magazine called Motor Magazine Oct. No.591, 50th anniversary price Yen 780.( I paid double as it is import.)

The cover page is a black C55 taken from its front.

Great photos of a black C55 with a blue M3 side by side
Many articles and photos of all new MB cars as well as a special featrure of the new C class all models.

Will scan some of the photos when I get home next week.

You know what I would really love to see, that Japanese video maker "Best Motoring" do a video comparison race with a C55, S4, M3, C32, and lets say a turbo'd 350Z.

I would guess the Japanese always go into deep details of comparsions of everything : cameras, cars, ......

I could not read to much Japanese on the mag., but I will get my friend to do a bit of trasnslation for me omn this aritcle of C55 Vs M3 , test dives by famous Japanese racing driver.

Incidentally, I just got Car and Driver Oct., and it has given ratings to S4, C55 and the CTS-V. C55 is rated '3' reason being the worst in price and the worst in steering.
