I wonder if the Japanese think that English sounds boring and inexpressive?

They all compete in the same catergory for the same customers.

really? on what planet? this is a stupid comparison. for example, the E-class competes with the 5-series, NOT the 3-series.

The new mark X is realy awsome, and for the cost of a 335i you can get a mark X modellista with 360bhp.

In the comparo the 318hp mark x got whooped by everything. Guess who won :P I'll give you a hint it wasn't the most powerful or the lightest.

Honda is missing.... I always wonder, what made Honda think their FWD is better than RWD? Or they have more fun making airplane, lawn mower, and toy robot?

Sad..... I really want a S3000.....

OCN, it's an 'educated' comment, supported by evidence of no FWD from premium(100K+ entry) MFRs.

Around 6:00 you can see why Nissan still needs to work on G's suspension. Personally I prefer G's steering, but 3's suspension makes the difference. It's also maybe the polar moment, in that case I think NISSAN should go for FI 2.5V6.

335's engine is kinda coarse from test drive, and the kick-in is abrupt - guess that's why Ferrari doesn't like turbo. I wonder if supercharger works better than turbo.

Apparently some people takes sh*t better.

I said 'kinda' politely. I in fact feel that engine strained in max acceleration. No way it's as smooth as my E46.

That's what others think, and as I said, everyone has different 'tolerance'.

Since you like to read all the magazine, maybe you can post everyone why there's no FI engine from Ferrari since F40 of 20 years ago? I'll plus you one.

I stopped reading once I passed "BMW 335i vs Mercedes E350..."

335i vs E350 and A6 and two large Japanese sedans? Something is wrong here.

Now those are the type of Toyota's they need here in the US. They should bring all the Toyota RWD cars to the US.

Pretty fun video to watch, even though they are comparing cars of different sizes.

Having lived in Tokyo, I can see why they grouped these cars together. The prices in Japan for these cares are similar and they are considered competitors. They are basically high HP 4-dr sedans that combine luxury with performance. Basically the well to do family man which a boy racer at heart.

I used to have a 335i M Sport when I lived there. Too bad they didn't use the M Sport because then the others would have gotten totally destroyed. The M Sport has no top speed limiter and a better suspension for track, as well as wider rear tyres.

so by your logic a phantom would compete with a ferrari 599. they are priced similarly.

All in all, A6 did really well for its size and weight - impressive. Mercedes E350, well, as usual, always trails in the bottom percentile in terms of performance and handling.

what a stupid comparison....a mix of compact and mid-size sedans, premium and economy brands.
