Figures. The Infiniti has more HP, is 0.2 seconds faster 0-60, is 1.2 mph faster through the slalom, blows the BMW away on the skidpad .89 to a lousy .84, has a better interior, is a better value initially and if history is any judge I'd be a lot more worried once the Bimmer is out of warranty than the Infiniti.....YET, the winner is somehow the BMW. The reason? Because it has a better ride?! Funny I thought these were Sports Sedans. I tend to think if the BMW had all those better numbers and interior etc and the Infiniti was better in the ride category, the winner would have been the BMW, because it won most of the head to head tests and it cornered appreciably better than the Infiniti which felt "uninvolved." Heaven forbid a Japanese car is chosen over a German car, even when it wins a head to head test.
