Totally agree.. plus they are so different to be compared, specifically on a track.

On another note, the new Merc looks much smaller than it's older model. It has become more of an SLK and lost much of its presence and elegance (such a toy-ish design). It doesn't justify its enormous price tag.. While the M6 has grown into a better 'all-rounder' monster and offers so much more value.. and elegance.

+1 BMW
