Motor Trend did the same thing with its Cadillac boner. Hey, let's keep saying they are the greatest cars in the world because the pro-America crowd will love to hear it. It doesn't matter that save for steering/chassis tuning, all their sedans suck in every other facet and their non-existent sales reflect that.

The criticism doesn’t make sense to me because no other manufacturer is doing better. For example, no other luxury brand makes a fun to drive 6MT 240hp RWD coupe for 35k, but BMW does. In that category MB makes the CLA and Audi has the A3.
On the M3’s note, the Quad is the only other car I would consider and it would be a fight between those two. C63 is heavier, slower and more of a luxury item compared to the M3 and Quad. The ATS V doesn’t do anything for me either.
