Don't forget the merc also has "comfort" mode as its default as well which, most likely, means its comfort setting is just programmed sportier than the M's.

Im sure the M6 is stiff and sporty enough for 95% of the people out there, but alas fanboy's will always cry and shout. One day Chris is the best reviewer around to you guys and the next he is a "paid off" schmuck? It is well known that there have been many mixed reviews on all of BMW's new cars including the M6...being softer, less communicative, and generally less sporty than previous iterations. I think the M6 is a much better looking car and would easily take it over the SL, even if it is pure fact that it is slower and less fun to drive, simply because it speaks to me more. Anyhow, he did pick the M6 initially, didn't he? I'm sure you M6 guys would be in an uproar if he put it up against a cheaper and lowly GTR that will surely smack it on a track and perhaps destroy the M in a straight line...at least from a launch. Bah, it is a BMW forum I suppose.
By no means am I an "M fanboy" I do think that as a drivers car AMGs are superior, which is why I have an SLS for a weekend toy. But the SLS is only good at one thing which is going super fast, and make me laugh, I'd never drive it daily. I also have an 07 Continental GT which is an excellent GT car but has no emotion to it. My Targa 4S is way too low and stiff for a daily commute. However the M6 combines all of these cars into one. It can bring out all of these emotions by simply pushing a button. Now it's not as good at doing what thoose cars speacialize in but it does bring all of thoose characteristics into one car.
