funny that they put two cars together, which are pretty different to begin with.

i really want to see what it would be like with the new m3 comes out and how it compares to the rs4. maybe by then the is500 will be here as well. i wonder how mb will respond? don't think the c55 will be as competitive?

I think the upcoming C63, with the highest horsepower and torque to boot among the four, will fare very well. The new C-Class is rumored to be tuned to handle much better than the current C and is intended to compete directly against the 3 as a true sports sedan. The new C AMG is only gonna be more so.

Both the Carerra 4 and Rs4 have all wheel drive. The Bimmer and Benz are rear wheel drive. I say it is a good comparo of all wheel drive Autobaun beasts.. I'll take the RS4 with that v8 please
