Frankly, I am surprised at how low key the review is. And I don't understand why it was left out of the sports sedan comparison test in the previous issue. Curious.

Bits and pieces on some other interesting cars. The GT-R is looking good. The Lexus IS-F is an awkward beast, more like a pony-car with its heavy V8 and lack of balance. Interesting to see how the M3 stacks up -- but if I were BMW I would chop the IS-F (and RS4) off at the knees with a 335 zhp that would outperform it.
Over the years, R&T has always seemed a little more muted in their praise of BMWs than some of the other mags, although I think some of that is due to ineffective writing. Their articles do not read as smoothly as those form C&D, for instance. I do like that they put the tech details at the end of their reviews though.

I thought the Feb 2007 sports sedan was only of Japanese cars, no?
