Guess who came in at #1!!!

#1 E63
#2 S6
#3 M3 (Manual - which took 13 seconds in the 1/4 mile - OUCH!)

I find that people get the mags quicker off the newstand than via membership in the mail.

Damn! I even looked through the first 2 pages of threads but didn't see anything posted. I thought it was too good to be true that I would be the first to get this info! I'm cancelling my subscription and going to pick it up at the newsstand! lol j/k

I just got mine too, the original post was on 12/21 so there is quite a disparity. C&D sucks IMO- barely a 100 pages in the last issue.

Audi beats Benz
AMG has this problem: goes fast in a straight line but does not 'handle'.
Most Benz's have the same issue.
BMW has a better feel for cornering; less body roll, etc.
I still love my S600s, SL and SEL but the 740il is really 'planted'.
I had two A8s and as good as they were technically I keep selling them back because they don't have the character of either Benz or BMW
