For some reason it seems like it takes nearly 50-100 more HP from most American cars to even hang with an underpowered BMW, so comparing equal HP cars from the two manufacturers doesn't make sense in most cases.
I also assumed that we were comparing performance figures because we all knew that interior and other aspects weren't even a contest.

Not to mention the massive (and dangerous) blind spot at the A pillar......, the (I make Idrive look easy) USELESS trip computer interface, the high waist for the rear windows (try taking kids who cannot see out of the back windows on a long trip), the axle tramp/shudder, tram lining on certain surfaces, agricultural electronic stability control, HORRIBLE coloured illuminated dials (red is almost impossible to read the speedo), uncomfortable seats and THEN there are the quality and performance issues......
