They really beat the crap out of the M6, wow. Loved the SL didn't love the styling. Jag feels old. Porsche is a Porsche

SPOILERS BELOW
4th Place: BMW M6
Highs:
As comfortable as the road trip is long, fast when it needs to be, usable back seat.
Lows:
Two-plus tons of not-so-fun, sounds more like warp drive than internal combustion, the controls are cold.
Verdict:
The world’s quickest Thunderbird.
3rd Place: Jaguar XKR-S
Highs:
The MGM lion under the hood, shockingly fast, challenges your driving skills, a beautiful interior.
Lows:
Antiquated electronics, stiff chairs, a dorky wing, feels a little old.
Verdict:
A real animal that just needs some updating.
2nd Place: Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
Highs:
Goes hard and handles beautifully, lots of conveniences, quietest at speed with its top up.
Lows:
Styled by people with odd tastes, price is closing in on a Bentley.
Verdict:
An exquisite fusion of luxury and sport.
1st Place: Porsche 911 Carrera S
Highs:
None is more fun, latest 911 has more frills, puts you in touch with your senses.
Lows:
Narrower seats, noisier cabin, less horsepower for the money.
Verdict:
Loses its roof but not its poise.

There is something bad with everyone of those cars............nothing is perfect regardless of price, I take that back, the 458 Spider is pretty much perfect. It really does take $350k to buy a perfect car, these under $200k car are all still missing something.

Pole Position
And maybe even then, the M variant is still betrayed by the excess weight of the donor platform (F10).
