What Car in the UK - Group Test - 5-er wins - but horrendous editorial / test error
I read part of a review of the new Audi A6 vs. BMW F10 530d SE, Jaguar XF and Mercedes E Class 350 Blue Efficiency diesel. This was published in the June 2011 "What Car?" magazine ... I had a read in the newsagents this morning.
The 5-er was given the No. 1 spot, followed by the XF, A6 and E Class in that order. However, the review was somewhat mis-leading and I was amazed by the pi55 poor attention to detail. Actually, not even the "detail" ... wrong term ... attention to the wrong car being used for comparison!! The headings all over the place for the BMW were for a 530d SE ... however the car clearly used for their test in all of the pictures and specifications were actually for a 535d M Sport. I would be very confused if I read the review and was not aware of this. This was also the cover story for the magazine - so the main piece in the mag ... what a silly mistake!! Unfortunately it sort of taints the results, as it's not clear if a like for like model comparison was performed. |
