S5 vs. 335i vs, CLK 500

[Leadfoot]

Lol saw an report about these cars,

the S5 devestated the CLK and humilated the 335i
in every discipline

I wish you could post the results, just so we can see for ourselves. I'm surprised that it was able to humilate the 335i, it's a very capable car.

This was a similar result to the one AUTOCAR had between the two, the S5 won every discipline and was reckoned to be measurably quicker on twisty roads but the value compared to the 335i was the telling factor. It was better but they didn't think it was worth the extra.

I can live with that opinion, I put sheer quality and allrounder ability as worth every extra penny, especially in something so pretty.

Leadie,
He is talking about AMS comparison test... So, this is a repost.

Sorry mate, I don't understand what you are meaning?

[KresoF1]

We already discussed about it...

Yeah,
335i is a bargain-)))
S5 seems to be a little better.
But the difference is not so great so everything will depend on driver's professionalism

On a track the time may be close but out on a twisty road the S5 will left it for dead. That is a fact, unless you are a professional the manner of the quattro set-up will give you confidence that simply isn't there is almost any rwd car and that include Porsches. And that's from experience driving Boxsters.

Very strange.
Please explain how it is possible.
The test is in German - difficult to understand.

My german is very poor, but you don't need to understand german to translate this...

I hate seeing the S5 in white, because it's making me second guess if I have indeed pick the right colour in Sprint Blue.

The overall winner was the GTI... really interesting,
