Till then Merc drivers will still think their C180K has SLR bits and Audi will keeping gloating about their new RS8, refusing to accept that in straight fights over the other segments, Audi is yet to get their act together to truly match BMW blow for blow. Their new A4 to be unveiled next year will be interesting and judging by the massive improvements in the TT, BMW has cause for concern. Yet again, the What Car? latest review on the new C-Class already puts in behind the E90 which has been around for 4 years.</p></blockquote><p></p>
