BMW and Benz have always been my favorite premium automakers. And b/c of things like this. DAAAAMNNN!!! 0-60 IN 3.9seconds from the BENZ? Not to mention it weighed 460lb+ more than the M3. They got tired of how it looked after a little while. I did figure that would happen. For those that cant read:
1ST PLACE- BMW M3
2ND PLACE- MB C63
3RD PLACE- AUDI RS4

I'm surprised they couldn't get an IS-F on hand, or at least wait a couple of more weeks and have a better comparison.
They wasted an opportunity to test all of these cars a little bit later to including the IS-F for a more complete comparo, but do include the M3 sedan to be fair to all other sedans.To who said the IS-F will place last a few months ago will look foolish, yet again. I believe it'll place 2nd and up. It's fast in a straight line, and should beat most of the others on a road course, according to the impressions of the magazines who've tested it. Nice interior, excellent build and quality should give it some high points as well, while the exterior styling may get some getting used to.

^^ I think it'll place 2nd after the M3 (because they'll like the sportiness of the M3 the most). 2nd because they'll like the IS-F's handling better than the C63's and other things as well, despite being slightly slower.
