Guys... maybe when a car wins or loses, it is just because the magazine reviewer liked it better/worse. I love how when someone's car loses it's a conspiracy but when their car wins it only makes sense I'm as big of a BMW fan as any (regardless of the fact my DD isn't a BMW at the moment) but I can see where the reviewer is coming from. I also don't personally like the ATS (not my style) but I wouldn't be so blind to think MT is on GM's payroll just because they liked the ATS better

I love the design of the F30 and I suspect there is a decent chance one is in my future (M version) but just because you like and prefer the car you bought doesn't mean everyone will agree and that doesn't mean they are on someone else's payroll if they don't. Here is the long standing internet forum trend... Magazine picks the car I own as winner... they are intelligent and correct... magazine doesn't pick the car I own... they are bought, biased and ridiculous
