These comparisons may seem arbitrary to some who are expecting a comparison to be completely about numbers, but they are just putting down on paper exactly what every consumer does when they do a comparison test in their head, based on their own priorities. At the end of that comparison test they purchase the winner. This particular comparison test just didn't have the same criteria as some of you might. Everybody has different priorities. Too all of you who think this C&D test was not legitimate, then according to you, everyone who might have, however briefly, considered a Porsche or Nissan on their path to the M3 made the wrong decision. It is a legitimate comparison because real world considerations like back seats and price do actually affect our buying decisions. And besides, don't take it too seriously... they have to fill their pages with something. It's just an excuse to get more information out there about these cars, which ultimately is what we want.
