His written review also in Jan 2010 is found in http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/...30d-SE/246781/ where he wrote that it's still the best car in its class

Did he update his review in Autocar?
Valid points, but I think the crucial point of his review is that it's not the run away leader, that the other cars in this segment have narrowed the gap. It's still the best but by a narrower margin. It's the duality of the car that will make some happy and others less so. More legroom in the back, good....Longer, heavier;bad. I think most will the agree the styling is better then the E60. Albeit conservative, it's a sedan, and it's a $50-70k car, which means the demographic that can afford such a thing will lean that way.
