Just wondering. Isn't that market kind of in slump? The point you seem to not be addressing is that the merc is a squirrelly son of gun(as is the zo6, for that matter), and the bimmer puts the power to the ground easily. And the clock showed a difference of tenths of seconds in the drag. To me that is insignicant. Road and Track showed the bimmer bested the merc around their test track as well, so I guess it boils down to a matter of preference. I personally find the Caddy to be boring and kind of pedestrian. I think Mercedes is watering down Bangle's design cues and to a rather ugly effect. Just my opinion.
