The Feb. issue of Road & Track features two sports sedan comparos:<br>one is for the two R&T deems "ultimates" - the M-B E55 and the Jag XJR (M5 wasn't ready for testing, although there IS a "First Look" short take)<br>the other is a six-way test featuring the "affordables" - Acura TL, A4 2.8 Quattro, BMW 328i, M-B C280, Saab 9-3, Volvo S70 T5.<p>To cut to the chase, the Audi came in second in overall points, second in points for the subjective categories, and a close second on the track lap, all to the BMW. (In the instrumented performance categories it was 4th, but then it has the least horsepower of this bunch.)<p>Thought you'd like to know....<p>-- David F.<br>A4 1.8TqMS<br>E30 325is
