1. Lex
2. BMW
3. Mercedes
4. Volvo

All were tested with auto transmission.

Volvo was last cuz it was 'soft'. Too much sedan, not enough sport.

Mercedes had the best brakes.

BMW had the best engine performance and 'balance' overall.

Lexus had the best skidpad performance.

On subjective ratings, the BMW actually came out on top. The reason the Lex 
won overall is cuz it is priced $5000 under the Volvo & BMW, and $10,000 
under the Mercedes. That threw the overall award to the Lex.
