Well the category entrants in this one make more sense.

I kinda' thought the 4 Seris and E 350 belonged in a Luxury category.... but  need to drive that 435i again - and not on the same day as driving the Corvette... the Corvette just ruined me.

Agreed, and not sure about the E63 sedan vs coupes in this category....?

I'm interested in how the Cayman and the F-Type scored against each other. Which F-Type was it again?

F-Type V6 S.

Wow, one does not get a lot of points for better acceleration: the F-Type was over a second faster than the Cayman 0-60, breaks the psychological 6 sec barrier whereas the Cayman didn't and the Jag didn't even get a full additional point for the feat. I guess its universal across the board but wouldn't 0-60 be one of the top benchmarks for shoppers in this class?

It's interesting considering how the F-Type V6S bridges the gap between the Cayman and the 911 but is beaten quite handedly by the Cayman in the scoring.

the weighting would happen after that point score is assigned, so the greater weighting in this category would, in effect, widen the gap.
