RS5 Slagged

RS5 Slagged
I just finished reading the group tests of the RS5, M3, Lexus IS-F and C63 AMG in my favourite car rag, EVO and also in car, another British devotional. I have to say I was taken aback when the RS5 finished last in both magazines, not even any quibbling about it, total consensus amongst all the testers. For something that was touted as "showing the M3 it's heels", it's a huge disappointment. Did anyone else read this too?

Re: RS5 Slagged
everyone read that
motortrend did the same test i believe and had very different conclusions
for the record, when everyone from R&T to Automobile to MT to CD and back to Top Gear tested the RS4 vs. M3 vs. C63, they unanimously ranked the RS4 last or second last.
It has been shown to be a pretty simple formula
M3 = the true driver's car...the scalpel...but a bit annoying to live with
C63/CTS-V = the axe murderers...the nutjobs...the cars that are overpowered and try to kill you (but which wear your nerves thin)
RS4/5 = the best all arounder, and a pleasure to own as a daily driver
it's an old, old script.
