The July! issue of What Car has a group test between the

Audi A6 3.2 FSI quattro
BMW 530i SE

Lexus GS300 SE
Mercedes Benz E350 Elegance SE

Don't have a scanner I'm afraid but hopefully the following photo of the verdict is readable. If you want to read the whole article then you'll have to get the mag from your newsagent

Do they test the car with the new R6 engine? I'm not suprised though, the new engine is @$#@$ing smooth and has a great power.
