There may be more to the story than just the raw numbers.
I agree. I think that is why the M6 was ranked in first place. The fact that is was THAT close in spec despite being 50k less makes it a better choice. If I bought a car that was 50k more than a competitor, it has to be more than marginally better. If I was shopping these models, I would say "Show me why it's 50k higher, and not just slightly higher" since it's only slightly better.
