Brit reviews the new M5.
Some choice quotes from the article;
“The first M5, launched in the late 1980s was, quite simply, the best Q car ever made (it looks ordinary but goes like a rat up your trousers)” “It’s a good job this car has so much power because by the time you’ve set it up for the journey that lies ahead you’re already very late” “Why, I wailed to myself, can there not just be one big red button in the middle of the steering wheel which turns all this crap off?” http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-1649122,00.html?session=5ewKtK3DnqRBy3UtByS3rlhlxb |

"Happily, by this stage I knew where I was so I thought, “Okay, I’ll turn the sat nav off.” Well you can’t. It doesn’t matter what button you press, she continues to give her instructions over and over again until you want to bludgeon her and her family to death with an axe. Even if you pull over and turn off the engine, she lies in a state of suspended animation, waiting to spew electronic diarrhoea all over the cockpit when you set off again."
 Why can't my issues of Car and Driver have writing like this, funny as hell. That's why I drop almost $10 for issues of CAR, the Brits have car magazines down. In case anybody forgot, this was written by Jeremy Clarkson of the Brit show Top Gear, who had a classic segment a while back where he attempted to destroy an early 911, to no avail.
