57/43 weight distribution? Good lord...that's almost FWD territory.

Seems to be all about the on-board electronics with the last 2 sentences vaguely summing up the drive. One of those typical, "sat in the car and pushed all the buttons but didn't really drive it" kind of newspaper reviews. AND, it's the Detroit Free Press. They have been nit-picky about all imports for some time.

Waiting for the camparos on this one. Many of the latest cars in the class are stellar; Jag XF, BMW 5, Merc E-class. The GS and A-6 have been around for a while so it will be interesting to see where the M lands in the pecking order.
