I think the new 911 won comprehensively in last weeks Autocar test vs the R8, XKR and Evora they named it the greatest all round sports car ever made.
I had a quick browse of that article last week. Noted on the front it stated that the 911 'crushes opposition'. Reading the review, the 911 wasn't that far ahead of the R8, certainly not a 'crushing'.M6 for me, but I'm a biased fanboi.
Inevitably that when the comparison is made, the M6 will be marked down for lacking character/soul/passion etc.

Looks like an MX-5 with a tragic bodykit.
It's the sort of likeness that is inevitable from a mostly 2-seat, front engined, rear drive, drophead, 2 door car with 4 wheels. Other than that, please hand your man card in at the door if you can't tell an XKR from an MX-5.

Shouldn't the question be India vs Germany?
If you define a company by who owns the shares, I suppose it should. Here's who owns BMW's shares so that would make it India vs err, where exactly:Stefan Quandt: 17.4%
Johanna Quandt: 16.7%
Susanne Klatten: 12.6%
Free Float: 53.3%
by types
Strategic investors: 46.7%
Institutional investors:
North America: 15.8%
United Kingdom and Ireland: 11.8%
Other Europe: 5.7%
Germany: 4.8%
Rest of the world: 2.5%
Other investors: 12.7%
JLR - are you listening?? - 550bhp motor option in 'normal' XKR with Speedpack/Sports Exh/Seats for me please. Limit it to 174mph - it'll just get there a bit quicker. 300kph is Pub/Keller bragging rights only. The XKR-S aero derived looks polarise - some love it. Plenty (includng myself) don't.
