Author of the article (Martin Urbanke) said at the end:
"The new Audi A6 is a great hit, but it still can't match BMW 5 series, altough it isn't far behind. When Audi improves comfort (of ride) and reduce gas emissions it will come closer. Despite all of this, BMW 530d is for sure the most agile car in this car segment. No car in this segment can't deliver such driving pleasure as BMW 530d does. MB E 320 CDI is a comfortable cruising car, but it doesn't set any benchmark."
