This is Part 2 from Car and Driver.
No.4 Jaguar S-Type R
Highs: Seductive supercharger whine, bargain pricing swanky interior.
Lows: Relatively modest power[ 390hp Superharged], J gate shifter,hints of brake fade.
The Verdict: A posh and affordable fast tourer that stops just short of Super.
No.3: MBZ E55 AMG
Highs Face-distorting thrust, right-now throttle response, superb seats.
Lows: Electronic brake meddling, peculiar steering program,tricky at the limits of adhesion.
The Verdict: Quirky, but unbeatable for the driver who wants to warp space and time
No.2: BMW M5
Highs:Athletic character, manual transmission, still a treat to the eye.
Lows: Numb steering,dated interior, aggressive traction control.
The Verdict: Still a deep well of driver gratification, but no longer the deepest.
and the Number #1 Car:
No.1: Audi RS 6
Highs: Bulldog grip, unflappable composure, devastating punch.
Lows: Face distorting price, low-speed lunge, ponderous in tight twisties.
The Verdict: A Super Sports Sedan that redefines the class.
There ya have.
