Default A6 4.2 wins the Automobile Mag Sport Sedan Comparo

Apparently, a German car has finally won a sport sedan comparo, although it wasn't the MB or BMW. Good win for the A6. It is a fine car.

1) A6 4.2
2) GS430
3) E500

The M45, 545i, and RL were ranked after the above cars. I don't have any other details.

Prediction: Automobile will now be hailed by outspoken CL members as the least biased magazine with the most fair comparison test on the planet.

Come on, let's not start some kind of flame war.

I would like to know what will happen in FA, most likely the same reaction to the Edmunds comparison. I browse both forums & these threads are funny . . .

I'm surprised the 545 still rank so low in a V8 comparo, known for being a driver's car. Apparently, they think the 545 is as ugly as the 530 J/K

Yeah, to some people, validation of what they think or believe is critical. The best "crying foul" thread I've seen is on cadillacforums.com. Every time the STS was ranked low, they blasted the magazine as anti-American and praised another magazine, which had yet to do a comparo, as quality journalism. Then when that mag ranked the STS low, it was the same cycle all over again.

BTW, was my indication that I'm just teasing.

Leave it to the instigators to bring up bs stereotyping.

Guys I'm not going to ask many more times for folks to make the third gen GS forum a more friendly and useful place to visit before people start getting their access to this sub forum removed selectively.

JRock, I'm sorry your thread went south so soon. It was a good topic.
