Yesterday, I picked up the latest issue of CAR. Their front page story is World's Best Car..."Britain's 4x4 meets the world's finest luxury four seaters"
The Range Rover is pitted against:
the Aston Martin Rapide, Bentley Mulsanne, Ferrari FF, and Rolls Royce Phantom....and comes out the winner (admittedly, because it can safely go off-road, and NONE of the other can, all the while providing a level of luxury that rivals the other 4 cars.
BTW, the Focus ST is pitted against 5 other "sports cars" for title of "OUR FAVORITE SPORTS CAR OF 2012"....and doesn't do so well.
Good, good, let's keep spreading these rumors. That way used Ferrari FFs will depreciate faster and maybe I can get to own one at the bottom of the depreciation curve. That should take about 20 years right?
That's nothing, this afternoon I had my own comparison between my P71 and a turkey sandwich. The sandwich won, because the car isn't edible.
That's one way of avoiding bias accusations...just stack the hell out of the test criteria. 
There is no best car. There is only a best car for the drive.

Funny, I would have thought it would in that category. They must have gotten rid of "its the only one that can go anywhere in the snow" category....
The identical article is in this month"s Automobile under the tagline, "Six Figures Four Seats".
Talk about badge engineering.
