Are we really celebrating the superior fuel economy in a performance SUV category when the Mercedes beat us in performance?
Pains me to see this given I've been a BMW fan for 33 years.

Perspective, I guess. All of these cars are great fun. Are you really going to be disappointed that it beats a Macan S on acceleration and braking, while managing a great fuel economy? It isn’t a zero sum game for me, where it has to beat everything else on paper or I’ll be disappointed.
The Mercedes is not an option for me, anyway. It’s a great car on paper and I’m sure they’ve done a good job but it could do Mach 3 and I wouldn’t even bother taking a trip to the dealer to see it.
