Default BMW vs. Mercedes vs. Porsche

Today I read an article about a test between these cars...

645 Ci (manual)
CLK 55 AMG (automatic)
911 Carrera (manual)

Its not fare...non of them are in the same category...the only thing they have in common is that they all have over 300HP...

By the end the 645 won...because it has both the comfort(CLK) and the "sporty driving"(Porsche)...(or may be just because its the latest coupe?)

I think it should be like this: 645Ci vs CL 500, M3 vs CLK 55 AMG...

OR

may be I'm wrong...?!

Absurd comparison indeed... all nice cars, but it would be the same to compare Fiat Punto Abarth, Murcielago and Ape Piaggio... all of them made in Italy :roll:

No your right in my point of view
Don't know about the others

So for me the CL 500 would win
and the CLK 55 AMG...don't ask why

PORSCHE 996 IT SUCH A NICE CAR, few things beat the sound of a flat-6. but if u add up the options the price changes quickly

i am a fan of bmws but it can't get of my mind that the bmw won because it is the latest coupe....
the same thing that they did at top gear when was lambo's 50th birthday(murcielago made the best lap timeat dry when zonda was at wet)

ok, well these cars are for different types of people..but in my opinion any Porsche, except of course for a boxter, beats any other car on the road..not in terms of speed but in terms of driving experience and blah blah blah..

porsche is the best..over italian cars, over its fellow german cars, over japanese cars, over everything..the designs are the best, the engines are the best, and they beat everything..look at the races between the turbo and the 360 modena, the turbo beats it, turbo versus r34 skyline, turbo wins..they handle the best also, their weight distribution is perfect, their suspension is the best, porsche makes as many cars in one year, as mercedes does in one day! in LeMans, what won throughout the 50's and 60's....lol i get a lil carried away but, with porsche, there is no comparison
