I'd have to agree with them that the C63 is just tooo powerful.

The RS4 has great handling and good power.

But the M3 is probably best of both worlds. Great season finale!

+1. As much as I love M3, I really can't justify buying M3 around the same price as GTR, given if I can find GTR at MSRP, which probably won't happen.

M3 FTW

M3, RS4 and C63 described by Clarkson as sublime, civilized, and insane respectively.

Someone beat me to posting the vid The M3 is hard to beat in this segment. The engineering that has went into this car has been reflected in this video and others. Audi just needs to work out the body roll imo and they would dominate. Mercedes AMG will continue to stuff big motors in their cars but that is not the answer when it comes to overall performance. The car must work as a unit to get the job done.
