That was an excellent clip.

But I must say, it seemed quite biased AGAINST the Mercedes.

For example, they mentioned how sluggish the engine was. Although it was the quickest of the group to 100 km/h and had the same topspeed as the rest of them.

The merc had good consumption, class leading performance, excellent ride quality. Negative was the squidgy handling, and engine obtrusiveness(?).

They also voiced the Bimmer as a fresh design and the E-Class was showing age. Why do they think the Merc, that sells for nearly the same price as the Bimmer, is still the leader in sales, as they say, for its market segment? Total fluke, right?
