    oh its a revelation...yea here is a revelation...this is probably the same tool who attacked me saying that i dont like the car because i like the R53 more... i know you are pretty much cupping them but i didnt realize you use them as a pillow :devil:

    i think its pretty much time to just strip the MF name and just change it to who wants to take it from BMW more...the damn front end looks like jeremy clarkson test driving the ariel atom...this atrocity is competing with the clubman in the size department

    Funny thing, Gabe says the MCS handles better, Top Gear says the Base handles better, and the article Nate quoted says both suffer from increased size...

    So many conflicting opinions, it's hard to tell. But Dave's right, it is funny how Gabe compares it to the R53, after spending the past 7 years preaching to us how much better the R56 was to the R53.

    I'm disappointed though, I really wanted a "better in every way" quote, instead they "nailed it". Oh well.

    The best part is they constantly compare it to and say is more like an R53 over and over Vs an R56. :lol:

    The Jalopnik article is a lot more balanced. The writer has a 2008 Clubman. The handling is just not as good, and the 3 cylinder is a lot of fun because you have to push it more - sounds better too. :Thumbsup:
